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

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.

ANNUALLY
Clean Firebox, Pilot, & Burner Assembly
The firebox requires periodic cleaning to prevent the
accumulation of dust, lint, and other debris. To clean
the firebox
, set the switch to the “OFF” position, and
turn off the gas supply to the valve. When the unit is
cool, remove the front panel and glass (see pages 9-
10 for Firebox Access instructions) and carefully
remove the decorative ceramic log set, taking care
not to damage the logs or chip the enamel cast iron.
Remove all ember material. Clean the firebox baffle,
ceramic burner, and carefully vacuum the entire
surface of the log set with a soft brush attachment.
Thoroughly vacuum the ports (holes) along the top
of the burner, and the pilot assembly.
With the decorative ceramic logs out of the firebox,
reseal the firebox and briefly light the unit according
to the lighting instructions described on page 21.
Check to ensure a proper flame is burning from each
burner port. The pilot flame should be burning
properly as shown in Figure 25.
NOTE: Do not operate the unit for more than
1-2 minutes without the log set in place.
Check and clean any burner ports that are not
burning, or not burning properly. Clean burner ports
using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. If the pilot
flame height needs adjustment, it should be adjusted
by qualified service personnel as described on page
21.
Complete the cleaning procedure by carefully
placing the log set within the firebox as described on
pages 19-20. Reattach the glass and front panel to
seal the firebox. Turn on the gas, light the unit and
check for proper operation. Flame patterns should
look similar to the flames in Figure 28. Regularly
check to ensure the area around the Stowe is kept
free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids. Check that the flow of
combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.
