Should a glass panel require replacement, then remove the four screws and clips 
retaining  the  glass  frame,  carefully  remove  the  broken  glass  and  replace  the 
panel with the correct stove glass from your supplier.  Ensure you use new glass

Seasonal Maintenance 

 
If your stove is be unused for any length of time, e.g. summer months, then it is 
recommended that it is cleaned out thoroughly.  Air slides should be lightly oiled 
with  WD40  or  similar  and  left  partially  open  to  allow  air  circulation  (DO  NOT 
SPRAY ANY AEROSOL PRODUCT ONTO A HOT STOVE).  Regular monitoring of the 
inside  components  will  identify  condensation  or  water  ingress.    If  these 
problems occur, then your stove needs to be dried and the cause of the problem 
rectified.  After a shut-down, and before reuse, the appliance should be cleaned 
again and the chimney swept, it is essential to have the chimney swept at least 
once annually and it is recommended that it is swept twice a year.
