WARNING: DO NOT CLEAN STOVE WHILE HOT.
Always keep the area around the unit clean and clear of furniture and other objects. Keep all furniture and drapery a
minimum of 36” (914 mm) from the heater. Inspect the entire unit frequently for proper operation, fit and soundness
of parts. If any malfunctioning, cracked, broken, or loose parts or other problems are noted, contact your dealer or
qualified serviceman to inspect and repair the unit.
DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT IF INSTALLED OR FUNCTIONING IMPROPERLY.
Check the fit and seal of the doors and ash pan door frequently. For proper operation, an airtight seal must be
maintained around these openings. If the seal is not tight, inspect the gasket. If the gasket needs replacement,
contact your dealer. If the gasket is in good condition, check the closure latch screws; if these are loose, tighten with a
screwdriver and retest the seal (see Door Handle Adjustment, p. 19).
Integrated Airwash System
Your stove is equipped with an integrated airwash system which uses hot air to keep the window glass free of staining.
Properly operated, your glass will remain clean, and any slight sooting which may occur when the stove is lit will usually
clear when the stove heats to its normal operating temperature. If staining occurs, probably the best method for cleaning
is to operate the stove with dry seasoned wood. Increase the operating rate until the fire is well established. Then turn
the burn rate down to between position 1 and 2. The combustion temperature will now slowly clear the staining from the
glass door.
Manual Cleaning of the Glass
Before attempting to clean your stove’s glass the stove must be extinguished and allowed to cool. The glass in your stove
is specially formulated to withstand the very high temperatures and proprietary glass cleaners are not recommended as
their compositions may contain chemicals that will weaken or etch into the glass.
Newspaper moistened with water to which a little vinegar has been added will normally remove most staining, but for
really stubborn marks, gentle polishing with fine steel wool lubricated with a few drops of dish washing detergent will
need to be employed. Great care must be taken not to clean the glass too vigorously as particles of grit may have
adhered with the stain and these could cause scratching if dragged across the glass. However well the stove burns it will
eventually become necessary to clean the glass, but if cleaning becomes necessary too often, we advise you to review
your operating procedures to determine whether cleaner and more efficient combustion can be achieved.
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE YOUR STOVE WITH BROKEN GLASS
Cleaning the Stove Body
Cleaning of the stove body must only be done when the stove is cold. Stoves with an enamel finish should be cleaned
with a damp cloth, or very gentle use of a cleaner recommended for enamel finishes. It should be noted that even
approved cleaners will damage the highly polished finish of the stove if used too vigorously. All traces of the cleaner
must be removed before the stove is lit and no finishing polishes must ever be used as these will leave unsightly streaks
on the stove when it becomes hot.
Stoves with a painted finish must never be cleaned with a cloth as the texture of the paint will abrade and collect lint
from the cloth which becomes difficult to remove. Vigorous brushing with a stiff bristle paint brush will remove all dust,
but where the paint is marked, the stains are better obliterated with a spray of suitable stove paint rather than attempts
made to clean them off.
In case of condensation, clean the affected areas before they dry.
WARNING
If your stove suddenly emits smoke, open a window, turn down the firing rate of the stove and leave to burn out. A
chimney blocked, whether because of accumulated soot or even by a dead bird will cause any fire to fill the house with
carbon monoxide.
