components will deteriorate. For that reason, never leave the stove unattended while a
new load is being fired hot.
5.1.1 Cleaning Door Glass
Under normal conditions, your door glass should stay relatively clear. If your firewood is dry
enough and you follow the operating instructions in this manual, a whitish, dusty deposit will
form on the inside of the glass after a week or so of use. This is normal and can be easily
removed when the stove is cool by wiping with a damp cloth or paper towel and then drying.
Never try to clean the glass when the stove is hot.
In spring and fall when the stove is run at lower temperatures, you may see some light brown
stains forming, especially at the lower corners of the glass. This indicates that the fire has
been smoky and some of the smoke has condensed on the glass. When the weather is mild,
you may find that letting the fire go out is better than trying to maintain a continuous fire. Use
the technique described above for building a fire to take the chill off the house.
If you do get brown stains on the glass, you can remove them with special cleaners for wood
stove glass doors. Do not use abrasives to clean your stove’s door glass.
The deposits that form on the glass are the best indication of the quality of your fuel and how
well you are doing in operating the stove. Your goal should be clear glass with no brown
stains. If you continue to see brown stains on the glass, something about your fuel and
operating procedure needs to be changed. Stains on the glass indicate incomplete
combustion of the wood, which also means more smoke emissions and faster formation of
creosote in the chimney.
If you see brown streaks coming from the edge of the glass, it is time to replace the gasket
around the glass. Visit your stove retailer to get the self-adhesive glass gasket and follow
the instructions below for installation.
