Cleaning
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 widely from
various locations and also from time to time in the
same location. It seems this is associated with the
varying sulfur content of the gas. You may have the
problem for a time and then not see it for many months
when it will reappear in your area.
We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass
manufacturers and they cannot give us a de
fi
nitive
answer to this problem. Dealers have tried various
cleaning products with varying results. The following
recommendations will not guarantee results in your
particular case.
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
period of time, it will bake on. 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 results of these products.

ceramic logs. When cleaning, make sure that no
particles are brushed into the slots of the burner.
