It is recommended that a qualified service technician perform a routine inspection at the
beginning of each heating season.
Never operate the appliance without the glass properly secured in place
.

authorized technician should ONLY remove the glass with the glass vacuum holders
supplied by the manufacturer. Lower the glass to rest in the special wooden/polyurethane
support provided, and fit the second support to the upper edge of the glass. This is to
prevent damage to the glass edges.
Step 1. Place the support on the floor below the glass to be removed.
Step 2. Remove the glass using the vacuum holder, and immediately place it in the support.

safely.
