/18Section 4.0 Maintenance4.1 Care And CleaningClean the insert frequently so that soot, ash and creosote do not accumulate. Do not attempt to clean theinsert, glass or door when the unit is hot. Special care must be taken with Gold surfaces in order tomaintain the finish at its original brilliance. Do not use an abrasive glass cleaner which will scratch theglass or gold finish. Use only a soft clean damp cloth on the door, since some cleaners may remove theplating or paint.4.1.1 Glass CleaningUnder normal operation the stove is designed to keep the glass clean. Glass cleaning may be requiredwhen burning damp wood and/or when burning slow fires. Generally if the glass is not staying cleanthen the unit is being under fired. Dirty glass may be self-cleaned by burning a hot fire (i.e. dry woodand opened draft controls) for a couple of hours. Good burning techniques will result in clean glass.Hand clean the glass only when the fire is out and the insert is cold. A light film can usually be cleanedwith paper towel and water. If heavy cleaning is required, a ceramic glass cleaner or polish isrecommended, and should be rinsed off with water for best results.4.2 Ash RemovalCAUTION: Ashes can start fires, even after several days of inactivity. Never dispose ofashes in a combustible container. Remove ashes only when the insert andashes are cold.Ashes should be removed from the insert frequently. When ashes are removed, they should be placed ina metal container with a tightly fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. Ifthe ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in theclosed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Do not place other waste materials in themetal ash container.4.3 Chimney CleaningRegular chimney maintenance, as well as good burning practices, are required to prevent chimney fires.The chimney and the chimney connector pipe must be maintained in good condition and be kept cleanfor optimal safety. The chimney should be checked regularly for creosote build-up. Inspection andcleaning of the chimney can be facilitated by removing the baffle. |
