Looking for some recommendations regarding cleaning the exterior of the Harman. Whenever I empty the ash pan, I clean the exterior, gets dusty from the dust from the pellet bags. I usually let it cool down, gently brush it off and wipe it with a damp cloth. I notice the finish on the top is looking a bit dull (top). I wondered what others do to clean it to preserve the coating. And is there something I could apply to brighten up or touch up the exterior. Mainly the top portion which takes most of the heat. Thanks in advance.

I use a damp paper towel on mine. I repaint the stove every other year...paint fades on all of them do to heat and cleaning. Make sure you use the correct paint if you decide to touch it up at the end of the season in a well vented area.
I also just use a damp cloth some times if the stove is cool
I will spray it with a all purpose cleaner . The stove is painted every 2 years
top and front Factory colours I guess you would call it a touch up .

Not if you have a porcelain finish. (Majolica Brown for me!)
Damp paper towel just to wipe the dust off 'er.

Chipping your finish is a concern though but that should be unlikely but could happen.
