Cleaning
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking and a visible film
may be left on the glass. This is a normal condition, and is the result of burning of
protective coatings on new metal.
Q
Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (which is a normal by-
product of combustion) which may be visible. Film can easily be removed by
removing the door, as shown on page 12. Handle the door carefully, and clean it
with non-abrasive glass cleaners. One of the most effective products is Kel Kem.
Q
Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas", leaving a visual
deposit of a white substance on combustion chamber walls. This can easily be
removed using normal household products.
Q
Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control compartment, burner,
and firebox free from dust and lint.
Q
Linear Burners may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove soot or
other contaminates.

WARNING!
Do not attempt to clean glass when hot.
Do not clean glass with abrasive materials as any glass etching may
cause premature glass failure.
CAUTION!
Fireplace gas control must be in the “OFF” position and pilot and main
burners extinguished when cleaning appliance with a vacuum.
Doors can get very hot. Handle only when cool.
