The stove needs to be cleaned and fully serviced at least once a year, although this naturally depends on how much the stove is used. The baffle can also be removed from the stove for cleaning, but please ensure that you only attempt to clean your wood burner when the stove is cold. Another quick way to clean the glass is by dipping some newspaper into some water, then dabbing it onto the ashes of your fire. You can then scrub the glass with the slightly abrasive ash.
