How to Clean a Lopi Leyden Wood Stove
- 1). Turn off your Lopi Leyden wood stove and let it cool off completely before cleaning. This could take about two hours.
- 2). Push all of the ash produced by the wood from the inside of your stove and into the ash pan.
- 3). Remove the ash pan and dump the contents into a fireproof metal container. Put on a tight-fitting lid to avoid combustion.
- 4). Open the doors of your Lopi Leyden wood stove and spray the inside of the glass on the doors with a commercial glass cleaner.
- 5). Use paper towels to scrub the glass clean and remove any remaining glass cleaner.
- 6). Vacuum the combustion brick about one a month while the wood stove is in use. This removes ash and makes the stove more efficient. You must use a vacuum cleaner designed for cleaning wood stove ash, rather than a standard vacuum.
