6.3 Cleaning of Glass
It is recommended to clean the glass door with a soft cloth, damped with a non-abrasive solution, such as soap
and water.
CAUTION: Cleaning the glass with an abrasive solution will result in surface scratches, reducing glass
transparency and resistance to impacts.
The glass of the door may be cleaned with commercial products intended for fireplaces and stoves. After
cleaning the glass, remove any remaining solutions with a wet cloth to avoid chemical reactions at elevated
temperatures (“cloudiness’’ on the surface of the glass).
CAUTION: Do not apply commercial cleaners onto any painted surfaces as discoloration/peeling may
occur.
NOTE: Never clean the glass when the unit is in operation or hot.
6.4 Replacement of Door Gasket
SUPREME FIREPLACES INC. assembles heat resistant graphite coated gaskets on the doors of all products,
allowing for a proper seal of the unit at extreme temperatures (up to 1000
o
F). It is recommended to perform a
weekly visual check on the condition of the
¾
” gasket to ensure proper operation of the unit. The
¾
” gasket of
your door needs to be replaced when 1) the fibers of the gasket are coming loose and 2) the gasket is
disintegrating. Failure to replace a gasket under the mentioned conditions can cause irreversible damage to
the unit due to over firing. Refer to the following instructions for replacing the
¾
” gasket:
a) Order the replacement kit for the FUSION 18
¾
” door gasket.
b) Remove the door from the firebox and place it face down on a soft surface. NOTE: Rotate the handle to
permit proper placing.
c) Cover all painted surfaces of the door to avoid damages.
d) Using a wedging tool or flat head screwdriver, gently remove the old
¾
” gasket (along with the old
silicone) from the door framing.
e) Apply a bead of high temperature silicone along the groove of the metal brackets.
f) Place the new
¾
” gasket around the door framing and cut any excess gasket with scissors. NOTE: It is
recommended to tape the extremity of the gasket for a cleaner result.
Give significant amount of time to allow the silicone to cure before reinstalling the door onto the firebox. A slight
resistance is expected when closing the door with the new
¾
” gasket; the door will close normally after the
gasket has taken proper shape.

SUPREME FIREPLACES INC. uses a high quality 5mm thick Pyroceram III / Keralite ceramic glass that can

or damage glass.

replacing the glass:
a) Order the replacement kit for the FUSION 18 glass.
