Vent systeM
The fireplace and venting system should be inspected before initial use and at least annually by a
qualified field service person. Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure that no
debris is interfering with the airflow. Inspect entire venting system to ensure proper function.
Glass DOOr
Thoroughly clean the inside of the glass door after using the fireplace for two hours. Periodically clean
the glass door as necessary.
When cleaning the glass, remember:
• Do not remove the glass when hot. Allow glass to cool before removal.
• NEVER use abrasive materials.
• Keep children and pets a safe distance away.
• Never operate the fireplace without the glass door properly secured.
• Never operate the fireplace if the glass is broken.
• Replace any glass that is chipped, cracked, or broken. Replacement glass door assemblies MUST
be supplied by the fireplace manufacturer – no substitute materials may be used.
• Handle glass door with care to avoid striking or scratching it on hard objects.
To clean glass door, follow “Glass Removal” procedure outlined in the Final Installation section. Film
deposit on the inside of the glass should be cleaned off using a nontoxic, non-corrosive, non-abrasive,
mild-cleaning solution. Simply apply an adequate amount to the glass and wipe off with a damp cloth.
After all maintenance has been completed, re-install glass door.
