dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should

Use of glass or other components from alternative sources
may cause a safety hazard and may void your warranty.
The following use and safety tips should be observed:
1. Inspect the glass regularly for cracks and breaks. If you
detect a crack or break, extinguish the fire immediately,
and contact your dealer for replacement.
2. Do not slam door or otherwise impact the glass. When
closing doors, make sure that logs or other objects do
not protrude to impact the glass.
3. Do not clean the glass with materials which may scratch
(or otherwise damage) the glass. Scratches on the
glass can develop into cracks or breaks.
4. Never attempt to clean the glass while unit is hot. Light
deposits are normal. Heavier deposits may be removed
with the use of a readily available oven cleaner.
5. Never put substances which can ignite explosively in
the unit since even small explosions in confined areas
can blow out the glass.
6. This unit has an air wash system designed to reduce
deposits on glass.
