MAINTENANCE cont.
IMPORTANT - GLASS CLEANING - WHITE MINERAL DEPOSITS
One of the by products of the combustion process in a gas appliance, is a mineral which can show up as a
white film on the ceramic glass of the viewing door. The composition of the deposit varies widely from various
locations and also from time to time in the same location. You may have the problem for a time and then not see
it for many months when it will reappear in your area. It seems this is associated with the varying sulfur content
of the gas. We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass manufacturers and they cannot give us a definitive
answer to this problem. Dealers have tried various cleaning products with varying results. The following
recommendations will not guarantee results in your particular case. Ensure the stove is completely cooled before
any glass service work is attempted. Make sure switch on the Battery pack / Receiver is in OFF position.
Turning the electric supply off will not prevent unexpected ignition !!
Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice the buildup (white film). If the film is left for a long period of time
build up will bake on. It is then much harder, if not impossible, to remove.
1. NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic glass. Any abrasion of the surface has the immediate effect
of lessening the strength of the glass. An emulsion type cleaner is recommended.
2. Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth. Most paper
towels and synthetic materials are abrasive to ceramic glass and should be avoided.
3. Our dealers have had good results from the products listed below. We can not however guarantee the results
of these products.
a) BRASSO
b) POLISH PLUS by KEL KEM
c) COOK TOP CLEAN CREME by ELCO
d) WHITE OFF by RUTLAND
NOTE: This is a problem beyond Blaze King’s control
and is not covered under warranty.
NOTICE: COLD WEATHER OPERATION
When using any gas appliance (LPG or NAT Gas) water is a by product of the combustion process. Under
normal conditions this moisture is expelled through the vent into the atmosphere and does not cause any harm.
In extreme cold weather the vapor may condense and freeze on any exposed surface it comes into contact with.
This can cause a problem by restricting or blocking the vent, particularly with direct vent wall terminations as
the exhaust is only a few inches away from the outside wall surface. What happens to the moisture after it leaves
the vent cannot be controlled by the manufacturer. To extend the vent further out from the wall can sometimes
but not always be an advantage. Extending the vent out from the wall may present other design problems such as
ice falling from the eaves above. It is the homeowners responsibility to ensure that there is not an excessive build-
up of ice on the termination.
CAUTION:
WHEN OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE DURING COLD WEATHER YOU MUST
FREQUENTLY CHECK THE EXHAUST CAP FOR EXCESSIVE ICE BUILD UP.
If the appliance begins to operate abnormally—Poor flame pattern, shutting down,
etc…, this could be an indication of ice build up.
