Oven window turns black

Hello,

there are special cleaners for that. Just get advice at a stove specialty store. I bought such a cleaner myself and it worked great. However, I can no longer tell you the brand now...

Hi, so Rudi, that's just how it is that the viewing window turns black on a wood stove :D Now seriously, try steel wool, a bit of water, and they'll be clean (BUT please do not use a pot scrubber!!!)

hi,
there is a chimney window cleaner made specifically for this. you can buy it at the hardware store or something like that. spray it on, wipe it off, and it’s gone! ;)

if you want to have the oven window clean every day, you have to clean it daily, for better or worse. an oven window cleaner is very helpful for removing the soot without having to scrape around for a long time... such a bottle costs between 4 and 5 euros... with a content of 500ml. and that lasts for quite a while. ;)

well... why even have the oven window clean?

I have the same problem. The stove fitter recommends cleaning the window with the combustion ash using a damp sponge. I have to do it daily; if I don't do it for one or two days, even the "ash method" becomes tedious.

I was also recommended the special stove glass cleaner; that helps too.

The root cause, however – as a specialist told me – is that the wood is not completely dried yet. A layperson cannot tell because the wood feels normally dry. It must be stored for at least three years before it can be classified as "dry wood." When burning dry wood, I was told, the stove window only needs to be cleaned rarely.
