IMPORTANT INFORMATION... Please read before installing your enclosure
ACID HEARTH: Hydrochloric (muriatic) acid is often used by builders to
clean excess mortar from new fireplaces. The fumes from this acid are
highly corrosive and will damage the finish on your fireplace fixtures or other
nearby metal objects. This corrosive action damages brass, steel and iron
and can last for many years if not neutralized. Consult your builder/mason for
correction.
The following suggestion, while not a guaranteed remedy, may aid in
correcting this condition.
1. To neutralize, saturate the masonry with ammonia water or a hearth
cleaner. Use care to avoid contact with adjacent carpet, floor etc.
2. Rinse thoroughly with clean, warm water;
3. Rinse several times with cool water to remove all ammonia;
4. Allow hearth to dry and seal with a hearth sealer.
Any acidic or caustic material used around your fireplace can damage the
finish of your enclosure. This includes some mortars or sealants that may be
used to install and seal enclosures and some paints used on fireplace faces.

CAUSED TO GLASS ENCLOSURES CAUSED BY “ACID HEARTH"
CREOSOTE FORMATION AND THE NEED FOR REMOVAL: Wood
never burns completely. Wood smoke is a combination of unburned gases
and a fog of unburned tar-like liquids. When these gases come in contact
with a cool surface they will condense and form a nasty brown or black
substance which has an unpleasant, acrid odor. This is creosote. When
ignited, creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney connector and
chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly during the heating
season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has
accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
HOW TO MINIMIZE CREOSOTE
1. Burn only seasoned hardwoods;
2. Do not allow the fire to smolder overnight;
3. Do not burn trash in your fireplace;
4. Check for buildup at least two times per month during the burning
season. (You can check for creosote by opening the damper and looking into
the smoke chamber with a flashlight. Take a screwdriver and scratch through
the buildup to the masonry. If the buildup is more than 1/4", a clean-up is
due. If the chimney is a factory built metal type, it should be cleaned
after 1/8" buildup. The smoke chamber is where the fire starts, not the top of
the chimney.)
ASH DISPOSAL: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil

or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
CARE AND CLEANING:
WARNING - DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT OR BREAKAGE MAY
OCCUR.
1. The glass in your glass enclosure is safety tempered. It may be
broken by contact with burning wood or spilled liquids, by cleaningthe
glass with a wet cloth or by too large a fire. Broken glass or discolored trim
is usually a result of too large a fire or contact with burning wood.
Tempered glass, if broken, will crumble into small pieces less than 1/2"
square. lf glass breaks into larger pieces, it has been de-tempered by too
large a fire. Replace all glass you suspect has been de-tempered. Replace
with tempered glass only.
2. Do not use ammonia-based glass cleaner to clean the glass or the
enclosure as these types of cleaners may damage the finish of your
enclosure. Minor finish scratches can be removed by applying lemon oil.
GENERAL SAFEGUARDS
Burning trash, scraps (construction) or railroad ties is not
recommended for use with this enclosure. Intense heat can cause loss
of temper in glass and the fumes from this can create health hazards.
Intense heat such as hot ashes, coals, or logs coming in contact with
the back of the enclosure will cause tarnishing or discoloration to the
finish.
