GLASS CLEANING

The glass will clean itself when there is sufficient
heat generated by the burning fuel. If a build-up of
creosote occurs on the glass due to poor draught
conditions, poor quality fuel or very low burning for
long periods of time, it is best to clean the glass
manually when glass is thoroughly cooled.

VITREOUS ENAMEL CLEANING

General cleaning must be carried out when the
stove is cool.
If this stove is finished in a high gloss vitreous
enamel, to keep the enamel in the best condition
observe the following tips:
1. Wipe over daily with a soapy damp cloth,
followed by a polish with a clean dry duster.
2. For stubborn deposits a soap impregnated
pad can be carefully used on the vitreous
enamel.
3. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE PADS OR OVEN
CLEANSERS CONTAINING CITRIC ACID
ON ENAMELLED SURFACES. ENSURE
THAT THE CLEANSER MANUFACTURERS
INSTRUCTIONS ARE ADHERED TO.

FIRE SAFETY

To provide reasonable fire safety the following
should be given serious consideration.
(1) Do not overfire the stove. If the stove or chim-
ney connector glows, you are overfiring.
(2) Overfiring will also damage painted or enamel
finishes on the stove.
(3) The installation of fire detectors.
(4) A conveniently located class "A" fire extin-
guisher to contend with small fires resulting
from burning embers.
(5) A practical evacuation plan.
(6) A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:

IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE

(a) Notify the fire department.
(b) Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation.
(c) Close all openings into the stove.
(d) While awaiting the fire department watch for
ignition to adjacent combustibles from over-
heated stove pipe or from hot embers or sparks
from the chimney.
