Enviro WH-Empress 150501 cleaning

[bigdog0u81]

I just received this Enviro WH-Empress 150501 and cant find info on how to clean it. Does anyone have a video or a manual on how to clean the glass and the pot? Thanks

Thank you.

It does say anything other then wiping it off from the front. Is there a way of removing it to clean the inside? It is dirty and had soot buildup.

DOOR GLASS CLEANING (When needed)Cleaning of the glass must only be done when stove is cold. Open the door by lifting the handle. The glass can be cleaned by wiping down the outside and inside of the glass with a dry soft cloth.If the glass has build up that can not be removed with only the cloth, clean the glass using paper towel and a gas appliance glass cleaner, this may be purchased through most dealers. If a gas appliance glass cleaner is not available, use a damp paper towel dipped in fly ash to clean the glass. After the glass has been cleaned use the dry soft cloth to wipe down the outside and inside of the glass.

I see what is says but unless your arm and hand is one inch think it's not going to fit in there.

unless your arm and hand is one inch think

Picture please, are you saying your inter door is only opening 1 inch? Your inter door should open the same as this insert.

 

[bigdog0u81]

I will send one later but that is a different model. Here is the one in the post at the top

Yours is a free standing picture I posted is insert second door still should open much further then 1 inch.

 

[bigdog0u81]

I'm not at it right now but it's two doors that open I don't think the glass swings open like that. I'll look when I get home later.

The door has to open so the glass can be cleaned and the interior of the firebox can be cleaned
No Ands Ifs or Butts

The doors do open it's the glass that appears to be a solid piece that didnt appear to have a hinge I didn't look at it too much I'll check it out more when so get home.

 

[bigdog0u81]

I will get it open when I get home thanks. Something must be wedged I pulled on it real quick when I unloaded it. Thanks I'll have to print out the manual I just looked at page 10 before. Thank you for your help.

Yes the two doors open to make it look pretty. The whole front swings open right to left to access the inner door.

 

[bigdog0u81]

Yeah after seeing the picture it made sense got it mostly cleaned with water and vinegar for now and tested it just to make sure it's working fine. Got it for free with some piping thank you again

Hello
There is an updated control panel with a darker background and updated glass door. The old glass door had rods to hold it together. Also the iron firebrick can look better with a coat of VHT very high temperature 2,000 degree Flat Black header spray paint available at a local auto supply retail outlet.
The outside of the stove can look like new with Stove Bright high temperature Satin Black stove paint that matches the manufacturer paint available at a local stove shop or Online of course.
Below are pics of the Empress FS I am working on.

 

[bigdog0u81]

The enamel finish in good shape. I might paint the fire brick next year. I found a panel cover for $8 plus shipping. Not going to put to much into it as it's going to be into my garage. Looks good man how much was the control panel and is it better then the original one somehow?

 

[Don2222]

Hello
Thanks, the old control panel was no longer increasing the convection blower speeds when increasing the heat level to blow more heat out the front. It happens with this model. The new control is making it work correctly. Also the new panel has a slide switch to select manual or Thermostat Hi / Low or Auto / On / Off operation. Costs only approx. $500.00

 

[bigdog0u81]

Thank you mine is increasing but like I said it gets louder when on the higher settings. Think the bearings are going on that fan. I talked to another person that has the same stove and they didn't know that the fan speed should increase with the heat level. I'm thinking they're control panel isn't working right now.
