NORMAL CARE & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE GLASS
When the fire is first started, it will produce some smoke.
The smoke might accumulate on the glass surface. Before
the fire gets hot, open the door and wipe the glass surface
off with a damp rag.
If after constant use, the glass might fill with ash deposits.
You must clean the glass after the glass has cooled down.
Do not touch the surface with your hands. Take a damp rag
and wipe the glass clean. If this does not clean the glass
use any non-abrasive liquid spray.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have been
thoroughly cooled.
REMOVAL OF CERAMIC GLASS
Open the door and lift off of hinges. If the door is tight, tap
gently on the bottom of the door with your hand or rubber
hammer. Lay door down on newspaper with glass clips
facing you. Loosen the screws and take off the glass clips.
Remove the broken glass carefully and discard.
Reverse the above procedure for replacing new glass with
new gasket.
FUEL POT REMAINS
The “clinker” is the solid mass that remains unburned in
the burner pot. It contains the inorganic parts of the fuel
and is safe to use as fertilizer or dispose of in a proper
container.
SOOT AND FLY ASH
The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly
ash. The fly ash and soot will collect in the exhaust venting
system and restrict the flow of flue gasses. Incomplete
combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or
incorrect operation of the parlor stove will lead to some soot
formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system.
The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least
once per month (during heavy use) to determine if cleaning
is necessary. Corn has a high ash content.
EXHAUST AND CONVECTION AIR FILTER
• Remove air filter and replace regularly
