XXV - Hazy glass...pics inside

[john193]

I've just cleaned my stove today and I noticed a haze on the top middle portion of the glass (see pic) that will not come off. I have noticed this the last week when I cleaned it, but I thought that I just missed a spot, since it has grown. I have tried to use windex and a towel to clean it off, nothing. I have noticed that with the O'Malleys I'm burning (which my dealer gave me a ton for free) the fire will start to "kiss" this portion of the window.

Is the haze normal? How do I remove it?

Also, in the other picture, I'm starting to see some discoloration in the metal...is this normal? Any remedies?

Thanks

I think another poster had this exact same problem and the manufacturer got involved, I believe. Hopefully they will chime in. You could try a forum search on your stove.

I found the thread https://www.hearth.com/econtent/index.php/forums/viewthread/35856/

thats a normal burn pattern for a long period of time, you might need an abrasive cleaner. You also might need to clean the glass more often

Try a Magic Eraser, or a wet paper towel dipped in the stove ashes.

glass rangetop cleaner works well also

My XXV does the same thing...just clean the glass (when cool) with a wet paper towel.
If you want to get fancy, glass cleaners specifically for wood/pellet etc. stoves (high temperature glass) are available.

" white off " by rutland products should take care of it for you.. It works gr8 on mineral deposits on gas units, and that appears to be what you have going on w/ your stove.

The Rutland White-Off product is exactly the same as the paste that is
sold for cleaning ceramic cook tops.
It works - to some extent - on woodstoves, but it's primarily used for
the glass on gas appliances.
I've had better luck with an extra-fine autobody rubbing compound...
YMMV...

I had that once. I used a razor window paint scraper with windex. worked good.

Careful with ammonia based products as I believe that it can etch ceramic glass. I have never had a spot that would not come off with just a wet paper towel and some stove ash.

Another vote for paper towel and stove ash, works great for anything I have had on my glass.....

A gas stove glass cleaner has a very fine abrasive and works great.

Thanks for the great input, worked like a charm.

Thanks everyone for the input, I had a miniature heart attack when I saw this thing and it wasnt coming off...I treat this stove like my baby!
