CLEANING
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically.
During startup, condensation, which is normal, forms
on the inside of the glass and causes dust, lint or other
particles to cling to the glass surface.
Initially, paint, while curing, may deposit a slight film on
the glass. We therefore recommend that, during the first
few weeks of use, the glass be cleaned 2 or 3 times with
non-abrasive common household cleaners and warm
water.
Ammonia based cleaners should not be used
.
Subsequently the glass should be cleaned 2 or 3 times a
season depending on the circumstances.
Do not clean the glass while it is hot.
Dust can be brushed from the ceramic fuel effects and
firebox walls after removing the front unit and opening
the window.
Removing the front unit
Unhook the cast front. Lift it up by holding the decorative
grille. DO NOT lift by holding the top.
Opening the window
Always securely replace the window before
lighting.
The inside of the window can be cleaned by pulling
forward and rotating the 2 clamping bars at the top
corners of the window and swinging the window part way
down as shown.
! Be careful not to distort or damage the spring-
loaded bolts—don’t swing the window down more
than is necessary!
To completely remove the window, also unscrew the
2 spring-loaded bolts at the bottom of the window as
shown.
After refitting the window, apply light hand pressure
against the window frame sides to bed-in the window
seal.
Dust can also be removed from the burner using a soft
brush after removing the ceramic fuel effects.
When cleaning, make sure that no particles are
brushed into the slots of the burner.
Always completely remove the window before
removing the ceramic fuel effects
.
