:
Painted and porcelain faces should be wiped with a damp cloth periodically. If a plated face has been
purchased, it should be unpacked/unwrapped carefully to avoid getting anything on the surface of the
finish, including cleaners, polish and finger prints. It is important to note that fingerprints and other
marks can leave a permanent stain on plated finishes.
To avoid this, give the face a quick wipe with
denatured alcohol on a soft cloth BEFORE lighting the fireplace.
Never clean the face when it is
hot. Do not use other cleaners as they may leave a residue, which can become permanently etched into
the surface.
If your fingers come into contact with the antique copper finish, the oils left as fingerprints on the copper
can cause discoloration, which will eventually turn green in that area. You can clean the patina or discolored
areas of the antique copper finish with “OO” 3M green sanding pads. These can be purchased from most
hardware stores. On the areas with discoloration, use the sanding pads to sand in the same direction as
the brushed finish, then blend the finish by feathering in the surrounding area. This refinishing procedure
has been approved by the manufacturer and will not harm the finish. Please note: ANTIQUE COPPER IS
THE ONLY FINISH THAT CAN BE SANDED, DO NOT SAND PEWTER, GOLD OR NICKEL FINISHES.

EMOVAL
:
In order to install the log set, and for regular
cleaning, the glass door will need to be
removed. With the face off, there are two
(2) handles on either side of the glass. They
rotate 90° until parallel with the floor (see
Figure 8). The top of the glass will move
away from the firebox and then the glass
door can be lifted off the resting points.
To replace the glass door, simply reverse the
above procedure.
Warning:
Do not touch or attempt to
remove the glass if the fireplace is not
completely cold.
WARNING: Never operate the fireplace
with the glass removed.
