Cleaning 
 

 

WARNING: DO NOT CLEAN THE UNIT WHEN HOT.  

 

The  unit  should  receive  regular  cleaning  on,  under, 
and  around  the  stove  to  prevent the  buildup  of  dust 
and  lint.  The  exterior  surfaces  of  the  unit  can  be 
cleaned  using  soap,  water,  and  a  soft  cloth.  Do  not 
use abrasive or chemical cleaners and take care not 
to scratch the glass or enamel finish (if so equipped) 
when  cleaning  the  unit.  The  use  of  chemical  wax 
based  cleaners  or  polishes  are  not  recommended 
due to the potential for discoloration of the castings, 
or  enamel  when  the  residue  of  the  cleaners  or 
polishes  is  exposed  to  heat.  Excessive  buildup  of 
dust,  spider  webs,  or  room  air  contamination  may 
cause odors when the stove is hot.  

Monthly (or as needed):

 

 

Glass Cleaning 

As  fuel  gas  may  contain  some  impurities;  it  will  be 
necessary  to  clean  the  inside  of  the  glass 
occasionally.  Do  not  use  abrasive  cleaners. 
Scratching  the  glass  will  weaken  the  integrity  of  the 
glass. 

Do not clean the glass when hot!

 Allow the 

glass to cool and apply a mild window cleaning fluid. 
Special  gas  appliance  window  cleaner  is  available 
from your local Hearthstone dealer.
