6. Care and Cleaning of Glass
Your fireplace is equipped with ceramic super heat-
resistant glass, which can only be broken by impact or
misuse. Do not slam doors or impact the glass. When
closing doors, make sure that logs do not protrude
against the glass. Clean glass with a nonabrasive
glass cleaner, such as Windex. Abrasive cleaners
may scratch and cause glass to crack. Inspect glass
regularly. If you find a crack or break, immediately
put the fire out and return the door to your dealer for
replacement of glass before further use.
7. Care and Cleaning of Plated Surfaces
Clean 24 karat gold-plated surfaces with vinegar or a
glass cleaner before lighting your first fire.
WARNING!
When the appliance is equipped with a 24 karat gold-plated
door, you must clean all the fingerprints and oils from the
gold surface before firing the appliance for the first time.
Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and towel to remove the
oils. If not cleaned properly before lighting your first
fire, the oils can cause permanent markings on the gold
plating. After the gold plating
i
is cured, the oils will not
affect the finish and little maintenance is required: just
wipe clean as needed.
CAUTION:
Do not use polishes with abrasives as it will scratch
the surface.
IMPORTANT!
REMOVE ALL LABELS FROM GLASS BEFORE
LIGHTING THE FIRST FIRE IN YOUR FIREPLACE.
IMPORTANT!
Replace with 5mm ceramic glass only
