ME300 - Installation and Operation Manual
The gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass. To do this easily, peel back a section of the paper
covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side up. Stick the end of the gasket
to the middle of one edge, then press the edge of the glass down onto the gasket, taking care that it is
perfectly centred on the gasket. Peel off more of the backing and rotate the glass and press the next section
onto the gasket. Do not stretch the gasket as you place it. Do not apply the gasket on the center edge of the
glass. Now pinch the gasket to the glass in a U shape, all around the glass. Reinstall the glass, being careful
to centre the glass carefully in the door. Do not over-tighten the screws. Note that the two main causes of
broken door glass are uneven placement in the door and over-tightening of retaining screws.

Plated Finish Maintenance
If your appliance has a plated finish, use a metal polish and a soft cloth to clean it. Do not use abrasives
such as steel wool, steel pads or an abrasive cleaner for they may scratch the finish.
7.8
Glass Care – Cleaning
To clean the glass, there are a number of specially designed cleaners. Your authorized Ventis dealer can
recommend a suitable cleaner which is available in your area. Regular household glass cleaners will not
clean creosote and they usually contain ammonia that may stain the glass permanently.
WARNING:
ONLY WASH THE GLASS WHEN IT’S COLD.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE ABRASIVES SUCH AS STEEL PADS, STEEL WOOL OR OVEN CLEANER AS THEY
WILL SCRATCH THE GLASS.
