Glass Door Cleaning And Maintenance
Cleaning:
Do not remove or clean the glass door when hot. When cool,
the glass may be cleaned with a clean, soft cloth and a household glass
cleaner. For cleaning white condensation from the interior glass, use
a gas fireplace glass cleaner available from your dealer. Use of caustic
or abrasive cleaners may damage the glass. DO NOT spray commercial
glass cleaner with ammonia on the door and glass gasket as it may dis-
solve the gasket glue.
Repair:
If the glass is broken in the glass door, the entire door (metal
frame, gasket and glass) should be replaced as a unit. This replacement
unit is available from your Lennox Hearth Products dealer. Do not use
substitute parts or materials. The glass is neo-ceramic and alternative
types must not be used.
NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT TO SPRAY COMMERCIAL GLASS
CLEANER WITH AMMONIA ON GASKET AREA OF DOOR. AM-
MONIA WILL DISSOLVE GASKET GLUE.
NOTE: GOLD PLATED SURFACE MUST BE CLEANED WITH GLASS
CLEANER AND SOFT RAG BEFORE FIRING THE FIRST TIME OR
FINGER PRINTS AND STAINS WILL REMAIN PERMANENTLY.
NEVER USE BRASS POLISH TO CLEAN GOLD, THIS WILL RE-
MOVE GOLD PLATING!
