PAGE 15 FOR GLASS CLEANING TIPS The operator plays an important part in keeping the glass clean and free of buildups The first and most important part the operator plays is making sure to burn only well seasoned firewood Wet wood Dirty glass Keeping your glass door clean is partly accomplished by the air wash system of the stove which sends clean fresh air for combustion over the window before it enters the fire The high temperatures inside the firebox also keep the glass clean No stove door stays perfectly clean The following are methods for keeping buildup on your glass to a minimum When properly installed and operated by a knowledgeable operator your glass door should require very little maintenance Do not expect to get extremely long burn times and keep the window perfectly clean Cool temperatures cause condensation of unburned volatiles on the glass If your glass gets very dirty during overnight burning try preheating the stove a little longer before damping it down for an overnight burn Also don t damper your stove down as low because you ll get more heat for your money by burning a little hotter for a slightly shorter time The air wash system will perform at its best at medium burn rates Some stove models will self clean by burning very hot fires but be sure not to over fire the stove If it glows red it is over fired Over firing a stove also causes the window to soot up Extremely hot fires with fresh wood may c2. allowed to dry under a covered area where air is free to flow and circulate under and around the wood not under a tarp or plastic Make sure wood is stacked directly on the ground it may absorb moisture from the ground It should be allowed to dry in these conditions for a minimum of six months preferably one year or more IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD THAT WOOD CANNOT BE LEFT IN ANY KIND OF WET OR DAMP AREA OR IT WILL NEVER BECOME COMPLETELY SEASONED Your stove will not operate at the level that it is meant to unless you use seasoned dry wood Do not burn driftwood or wood that has been in salt water doing so will void your warranty Do not burn treated wood coal garbage cardboard solvents or colored paper Burning treated wood garbage solvents or colored paper may result in the release of toxic fumes This type of burning will also void your warranty PERIOD If your stove has a Gold or Nickel Plated Door be sure to clean it with Windex brand glass cleaner and avery soft cloth to remove any fingerprints and residues prior to the first fire and before any fire if the gold has been handled or soiled Do not close the door tightly during the Break in Period Also open the door frequently every 5 10 minutes to keep the gasket from adhering to the curing paint Ventilate the house well during these first firings as the paint gives off carbon dioxide and unpleasant odors Itis recommended that persons sensi
