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.
n
Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (which is a
normal biproduct of combustion) which may be visible. Film can
easily be removed by removing the door, as shown on page 6-7.
Handle the door carefully, and clean it with non-abrasive glass
cleaners. One of the most effective products is Kel Kem.
n
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.
n
Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control
compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
n
Logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove
soot or other contaminates.
Note:
C38-BV-I models (electronic ignition) do not feature
hi/lo adjustment.
