General Glass Information
Glass Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up, con-
densation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and causes
dust, lint etc. to cling to the glass surface. Also, initial paint curing can
deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore recommended that ini-
tially the glass be cleaned two or three times with non-abrasive com-
mon household glass cleansers and warm water. After that, the glass
should be cleaned two or three times a season depending on the circum-
stances.
Cautions and Warnings
• Do not clean when the glass is hot.
• The use of substitute glass will void all product warranties.
• Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass.
• Do not operate this fireplace without the glass front or with a broken
glass front.
• Do not strike or abuse glass.
