• 

Before replacing the ash pan, clear away any ash 
that has spilled over the sides and back of the 
pan.

• 

Replace the ash pan and close the ash door and 
front door.

Empty the ash pan regularly, typically every one to 
three days. The frequency will vary depending on how 
you operate your WinterWarm:  You burn more wood 
at higher heat output settings, and ash will accumulate 
faster.
Ash should be removed frequently and placed outdoors 
in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed 
container of ash should be placed on a noncombustible 
floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible 
materials, pending final disposal. If the ash is disposed 
of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, it 
should be retained in the closed container until all cin-
ders have thoroughly cooled. -Wood ash may be used 
as a garden fertilizer.  
CAUTION:  Never use your household or shop vacuum 
cleaner to remove ash from the fireplace; always re-
move and dispose of the ash properly.

An occasional dusting with a dry rag will keep the 
painted cast iron of your WinterWarm looking new.  
If the paint needs retouching, first allow the surface 
to cool completely. Wire-brush areas needing to be 
painted. Touch-up with high temperature stove paint 
available from your local dealer. Apply the paint spar-
ingly. Two light coats are better than one heavy one.

Use a soft brush as necessary. Do not use water or 
other liquids on your WinterWarm. Fingerprints usually 
can be buffed off porcelain enamel with a dry, soft cloth.  
If marks remain, allow the WinterWarm to cool com-
pletely, then buff with a slightly damp, soft cloth.  Dry 
completely before starting a fire to avoid streaking.
Never use abrasives or harsh chemical cleaners on the 
porcelain enamel finish. The enamel may scratch and 
expose the cast iron, which can then stain or rust.  If 
you must remove spills or stains from porcelain sur-
faces, make sure that the fire is out and that the Win-
terWarm has cooled completely before cleaning.  Use a 
kitchen appliance cleaner and polish especially formu-
lated for enamel surfaces. Apply the cleaner sparingly 
with a soft cloth, and buff away all traces.

The WinterWarm glass system requires a minimum 
amount of cleaning. Most carbon deposits that accumu-
late will burn off during hot fires.
Ash residue that accumulates on the glass should be 
removed periodically to prevent etching. To clean the 
glass, follow this procedure:

• 

Be sure the glass is completely cool.

• 

Cleaning with water will work in most cases.  Use 
a glass cleaner especially made for this purpose 
only if deposits are especially heavy.  (If heavy 
deposits are a frequent occurrence, however, 
evaluate your operating techniques.)

• 

Rinse the glass thoroughly.

• 

Dry the glass completely.
