WARNING
Buff lightly with a clean dry soft cloth to remove accumulated dust or fi ngerprints. Clean both sides of the glass
after the fi rst 10 hours of operation with an ammonia-free glass cleaner.
Thereafter, clean as required. If the glass is not kept clean permanent discoloration and / or blemishes may
result. Contact you local authorized dealer / distributor for complete cleaning instructions.
Razor blades, steel wool, or other metallic objects must not be used on both surfaces of the glass. Doing so
can remove a thin layer of metal from the razor blades, steel wool, or other metallic objects that may then be
deposited onto the coating. This can result in a discoloured stain or scratch-like mark. More importantly, this can
scratch the glass surface, thereby reducing its strength.
Do not operate the appliance with broken glass, as leakage of fl ue gases may result.
Contact your local authorized dealer / distributor for complete cleaning instructions.
If the glass should ever crack or break while the fi re is burning, do not open the door until the fi re is out. Do not
operate the appliance until the glass has been replaced. Contact you local authorized dealer / distributor for
replacement parts.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.
Vinegar-based glass cleaners have demonstrated an ability to provide a clean, streak free glass surface.
note:
•
Do not clean glass when hot! Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean glass.
This appliance is factory equipped with 5mm ceramic glass. Use only replacement parts as supplied by the
