Painted and porcelain faces should be wiped with a damp cloth periodically. If a plated face has been
purchased, it should be unpacked/unwrapped carefully to avoid getting anything on the surface of the
finish, including cleaners, polish and finger prints. It is important to note that fingerprints and other
marks can leave a permanent stain on plated finishes.
To avoid this, give the face a quick wipe with
denatured alcohol on a soft cloth BEFORE lighting the fireplace.
Never clean the face when it is
hot. Do not use other cleaners as they may leave a residue, which can become permanently etched into
the surface.
If your fingers come into contact with the antique copper finish, the oils left as fingerprints on the
copper can cause discoloration, which will eventually turn green in that area. You can clean the patina
or discoloured areas of the antique copper finish with “OO” 3M green sanding pads. These can be
purchased from most hardware stores. On the areas with discoloration, use the sanding pads to sand
in the same direction as the brushed finish, then blend the finish by feathering in the surrounding area.
This refinishing procedure has been approved by the manufacturer and will not harm the finish. Please
note: ANTIQUE COPPER IS THE ONLY FINISH THAT CAN BE SANDED, DO NOT SAND PEWTER, GOLD
OR NICKEL FINISHES.

In order to install the log set, and
for regular cleaning, the glass door
must be removed. There are two
(2) door latch mechanisms under
the glass door shown in Figure
7. Each latch has two (2) finger
grooves, use these to pull the
mechanisms straight out. When
the bottom latches are unhooked,
lift the door straight up over the
placement pins at the top of the
door, shown in Figure 8.
To replace the glass door, simply
reverse the above procedure.
Warning:
Do not touch or attempt
to remove the glass if the fireplace
is not completely cold.
WARNING: Never operate
the fireplace with the glass
removed.
