Your fireplace is supplied with a 30-1/8” x 19”, high tem-
perature, 5mm ceramic glass panel that is capable of with-
standing the highest heat that your fireplace can produce.
Never attempt to use another type of glass or other mate-
rial. If your glass requires cleaning, you should obtain an
approved gas fireplace glass cleaner available at your fire-
place dealer. Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the glass
panel.
