STONE
Occasional cleaning is all that is necessary to maintain the
natural beauty of your stove’s soapstone finish. Clean the
soapstone with water, any non-abrasive cleaner and a soft
cloth. Wipe dust from the stone with a clean cloth. Do not
use chemical agents to wash the stone; do not use waxes or
any polishing agents on the stone.
Take care not to scratch or chip the soapstone. Do not set
items that can scratch or chip the stone on top of your stove.
Do not
use sandpaper to buff out scratches, as it will remove
the polished surface of the stone.
Contact your local HearthStone dealer for accessories such as
trivets, or soapstone tiles if you intend to place metal pots on
the stove. Your HearthStone dealer has a soapstone steamer
pot available, which will complement your soapstone stove.
Often, with use and over time, subtle earth tones of brown,
red, and yellow may appear in the soapstone. This is a
natural reaction in the soapstone. Surface or hairline fractures
may also appear in the stone after a stove is used. Such
changes are normal and do not affect the operation or the
integrity of the stove and do not require replacement.
If you observe a completely broken stone, contact your
dealer for a replacement. Please note that a replacement stone
will most likely not exactly match your existing stones.
When HearthStone manufactures a soapstone woodstove, we
strive to match all the stones on the stove as closely as
possible. However, over time, the original stones on your
stove will change as mentioned above. In addition, even
stone from the same quarry is not uniform in grain, or color.
