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 or ammonia-based
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.

Do not clean the glass while it is hot!
Always securely replace the window and the barrier
screen before lighting.
If broken, the glass pane may only be replaced
as a complete window unit as supplied by the
manufacturer.
If the barrier becomes damaged, the barrier shall
be replaced with the manufacturer’s barrier for this
appliance.
To remove the window for cleaning:
1. Unhook the front with barrier screen.
2. On the window,
turn each bolt a
quarter turn to
disengage the
bolt pin.
3. Gently pull the
bottom of the
window outward
and unhook it
from the
fi rebox’s
opening frame.
4. Set the window
aside in a safe place to avoid damage.
Clean the window
following the guidelines in this section.
Clean the trim and front
with mild soap and water.
Any
alcohol/solvent base cleaner will weaken the coating
and damage it.
Dust the barrier screen
with a soft brush.
Dust the fi rebox ceramic logs/rocks and walls
with
a soft brush. Dust can also be removed from the burner
using a soft brush after removing the ceramic logs.
When
cleaning, make sure that no particles are brushed into
the slots of the burner.
To re fi t the window:
1. To re fi t the window, place the window to the fi rebox’s
opening frame. Make sure that the wider part of
the window frame is at the bottom. The top of the
window is marked.
2. While you hold it, push in and turn the two
bottom spring-loaded bolts a quarter turn to engage
their pin.
3. Push in the top of the window against the fi rebox and
fasten the two top spring-loaded bolts a quarter turn.
4. Then, pull out the top and bottom of the window and
release it to insure the springs return it.
WARNING
DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT!
Let the fi replace cool fi rst before cleaning it.
