Painted, powder coated, or porcelain enameled surfaces should be wiped with a damp cloth periodically.

Check the
gasket material on the back of the glass, making sure that
it is attached and intact.
During a cold start up, condensation will sometimes form on the glass. This is a normal condition with all
fireplaces. However, this condensation can allow dust and lint to cling to the glass surface. Initial paint
curing of the appliance can leave a slight film behind the glass, a temporary problem. The glass will need
cleaning about two weeks after installation.
Use a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth
. Abrasive
cleaners will damage the glass and painted surfaces.
Depending on the amount of use, the glass
should require cleaning no more than two or three times a season.
Do not clean the glass when it is
hot.

towel. Vacuum the bottom of the firebox thoroughly. Carefully clean any dust off the logs and remove
any lint from the burner and pilot. At this time, inspect the burner tube for cracking or severe warping.
If a problem is suspected, contact the dealer. C
heck the logs for deterioration or large amounts of soot;
a small amount on the bottom side of the logs is normal. Replace the logs and coals as in the

The glass in the fireplace is a high temperature ceramic. If the glass is damaged in any way, a factory
replacement is required (see
P
arts
l
Ist
). Wear gloves when handling damaged glass door assembly
to prevent personal injury. Do not operate with the glass front removed, cracked or broken. Removal
and replacement of the glass from the door must
be done by a licensed or qualified service person.
The glass must be purchased from an ENVIRO dealer. No substitute materials are allowed.
Remove the door (see page 12). The replacement glass will come with a new gasket installed. Remove
any silicone remnants from the door. Apply high temperature silicone to the two vertical faces of the
door and install the new piece of glass with gasket (be sure to maintain edge clearances). Apply even
pressure to the glass to allow the silicone to adhere to the gasket material.
