MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE (CONT’D)
Glass Cleaning
Clean the glass before use and two or three times each heating
season. During start-up condensation (which is normal) forms
on the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other
airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. Also initial paint
curing may deposit a slight film on the glass. Use a non-
abrasive household cleaner and warm water (we recommend
gas fireplace glass cleaner).
