Cleaning Your Fireplace
Important - Glass cleaning - Mineral deposits
One of the by-products of the combustion process in a
gas appliance is a mineral which can show up as a white
fi
lm on the ceramic glass of the viewing door.
The composition of the deposit varies with location and
time. It is believed to be associated with the varying sulfur
content of the gas. You may have the problem intermit-
tently.
We have consulted with ceramic glass manufacturers
and they cannot offer a de
fi
nitive solution to this problem.
Dealers have tried various cleaning products with varying
results. The following are recommendations only and are
not meant to guarantee results.
NOTE: This is a problem beyond Miles Industries’
control and is not covered under warranty.
• Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice the
buildup (white
fi
lm). If the
fi
lm is left for a longer pe-
riod of time, it will etch into the glass. It is then much
harder, if not impossible, to remove.
• NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic
glass.
Any abrasion of the surface has the immediate
effect of compromising the strength of the glass. An
emulsion type cleaner is recommended.
• Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the
glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth. Most
paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive to
ceramic glass and should be avoided.
• Our dealers have had good results from the products
listed below. We cannot, however, guarantee the re-
sults of these products.
