Decorative Front Installation Instructions
Leave this manual with party responsible for use
and operation.

you received components that are damaged, contact your
dealer for assistance.
Note: These decorative fronts are designed to overlap
nishing materials such as tile or marble with thickness 1
inch or less (including backer material such as mortar, lath,
etc). These may also be installed as an “inside t” where
the nishing materials are installed adjacent to the perimeter
of the decorative decorative front. See appliance installation
instructions for more information.
NOTE: Decorative fronts with an (A) in the model name
denote “Arch”. Arch decorative fronts require the ARCH-
KIT-36, ARCH-KIT-42 or ARCH-KIT-50. See Figure 7.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Combustible materials MUST
NOT overlap or be placed under a surround.
CAUTION! Risk of Cuts or Abrasions. Wear protective
gloves and safety glasses during installation. Sheet metal
edges are sharp.
PREPARATION OF THE APPLIANCE

Cleaning Instructions for Decorative Fronts
Use a microber cloth and Windex® Original Glass
Cleaner or 03M003 Stove Bright® Glass Cleaner to
clean the decorative front immediately after installation
to remove acids deposited by the installer or technician.
Spray the cleaner onto the microber cloth and carefully
wipe the entire surface. The decorative front should
be cleaned in this manner annually by the homeowner
to remove ngerprints or other contaminants. Once
oxidation of the paint pigment has occurred, cleaning will
not restore the original color.
Please contact your Hearth & Home Technologies dealer with any
questions or concerns.

Note: The FORGE-36, FORGE-36A, FORGE-42, FORGE-
42A, FORGE-50 and FORGE-50A may develop a change
in appearance over time due to the heating and cooling as-
sociated with product use. This is the result of the natural
tempering process of the steel used in these handcrafted
products. This coloration change cannot be removed from
the steel by cleaning.
