CLEANING
The exterior surfaces of the wood re should be cleaned when needed with a damp cloth and
non-abrasive cleaner. Use of caustic or abrasive cleaners will damage the nish on the wood
re. If, due to continued burning at low temperature, the door glass is dirty, use a paper towel
moistened with water and dipped in the cold ashes from the re to lightly scrub the inside of the
glass. Remember that a properly operated wood re will keep the glass clean by itself.
LUBRICATION
The door hinges, door handle spindle and air slide mechanism should be lubricated periodically
with a suitable high temperature grease. Do not use too much as this can melt and drop down
onto the hearth staining it.
RE-PAINTING
All Kent wood res are nished in high temperature paint. If marks and scratches occur, or
the paint is damaged by over ring or aggressive cleaning agents the appliance can easily
be touched up by using stove paint. Any rust or other stubborn marks that may appear can
be cleaned up and removed with the help of a steel wool pad and hot soapy water, then
repainted if necessary. Touch up paint is available from your Kent retailer. Any unprotected
steel surface left exposed in an environment where moisture may sit on it for extended periods
will require cleaning and care to maintain a quality appearance. Without adequate care it is
realistic to expect that steel may show signs of corrosion.
If the re is not in use for extended periods and you want to protect the surface of your re,
sparingly wipe some extra virgin cooking oil onto the steel with the aid of a paper towel or rag.
Buff off with a clean rag or new paper towel until no reside is left. This will protect the steel and
make it easier to clean in the future.
