– Glass Replacement
WARNINGS:
Abrasive cleaners must not be used because they will produce surface scratches, reducing glass transparency and
resistance to impacts.
Do not clean the glass when it is hot. The glass panels should be cleaned when the fireplace is cold and not functional.
If using a commercial glass cleaner, avoid the painted parts of the fireplace. Glass cleaners can wear off the paint of the
fireplace.

The glass door of your fireplace must be treated with care, do not slam the doors shut or build the fire too close to the glass.

glass.
Replace immediately a cracked or broken glass. Do not use the fireplace with cracked or broken glass; doing so may result
in a fire hazard.
