CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Glass  must  be  cleaned  periodically.  During 
start-up it is normal for condensation to form 
on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust and 
other airborne particles to cling to the glass 
surface. During initial start-up a slight film may 
form  on  the  glass  due  to  paint  curing.  The 
glass should be cleaned several times with a 
non-ammonia, nonabrasive household clean

-

er and warm water after the first two weeks 
of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two 
or three times during each heating season, 
depending on the usage and circumstances 
present. Refer to 

Removing/Replacing Glass 

Door

, page 24 of this manual when removing 

glass door for cleaning.

 WARNING: Only parts sup

-

plied by the manufacturer should 

be used when replacing broken 

or  damaged  glass  door  panel 

(see

36).  This  glass  door  panel  is 

a  complete  unit.  No  substitute 

materials may be used.

 CAUTION: Wear gloves and 

safety  glasses  while  handling 

or  removing  broken  glass.  Do 

not remove if glass is hot. Keep 

children  and  pets  away  from 

glass.

 WARNING: Turn off fireplace 

and let cool before cleaning.

  CAUTION:  You  must  keep 

control  areas,  burners  and 

circulating air passageways of 

fireplace  clean.  Inspect  these 

areas  of  fireplace  before  each 

use.  Have  fireplace  inspected 

yearly  by  a  qualified  service 

person.  Fireplace  may  need 

more frequent cleaning due to 

excessive  lint  from  carpeting, 

bedding material, pet hair, etc.

GLASS DOOR

  WARNING:  Handle  glass 

door  panel  with  care.  Do  not 

strike, slam or otherwise abuse
