Maintenance and Cleaning Instructions:
To prevent a possible burn injury, always allow the oven to completely cool before
cleaning it.
Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth to clean the exterior of the oven. Do not use oven
cleaner, as it may damage the surface coating. Wipe the stainless steel with the grain to
reduce external scratching of the finish.
Do not dispose of ash residue or unburnt charcoal briquettes until they have completely
cooled. Do clean the ashes out of your oven before you light a new fire. Old, cold ashes will
get in the way of baking food.
Disposal of Ashes: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
Pending disposal, the closed container of ashes should be placed on a non- combustible floor
or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials.
Creosote: When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors. The vapors
combine with expelled moisture and condense in a relatively cool oven flue of a slow
burning fire, accumulating as creosote. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot
fire.
Inspect your chimney for creosote buildup regularly. We recommend that you sweep your
chimney no less than once per year, minimum, or as often as is required, based on the type
and volume of use. Have your chimney cleaned by a professional chimney sweep if you are
unsure about the process or your ability to clean it. Use a plastic, wood, or steel brush. Do
not use a brush that will scratch the stainless steel liner of your chimney. Scrub the spark
arrestor with a wire brush. You should also remove the chimney cap for cleaning. Be sure to
replace the spark arrestor and cap on the chimney after the cleaning is complete and before
lighting a fire in your oven again.
