How to Clean the Vent on a Magnolia Wood Stove

Magnolia's top-line wood stoves have built-in blowers that increase air circulation and provide maximum efficiency. The blower on the back of the stove has a vented cover. It's important to keep the vents clean and clear to maintain the stove's optimum performance. While you should routinely dust the vents with a dry cloth, you can also give them a good washing when you do your end-of-the-season cleaning.
