CLEANING AND 
MAINTENANCE
GLASS DOOR 
Glass must be cleaned periodically. During 
start-up it is normal for condensation to 
form on the inside of the glass causing lint, 
dust, and other airborne particles to cling 
to the glass surface. During initial start-up 
a slight film may form on the glass due to 
paint curing. The glass should be cleaned 
several times with a non-ammonia, 
nonabrasive household cleaner and warm 
water after the first two weeks of 
operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two 
or three times during each heating season, 
depending on the usage and circumstances 
present. Refer to Removing/Replacing 
Glass Door on page 18 &19 of this manual 
when removing glass door for cleaning. 
WARNING: Turn off burner system 
and let cool before cleaning. 
CAUTION: You must keep control 
areas, burners, and circulating air 
passageways of burner system and 
stove clean. Inspect these areas of 
burner system and stove before each 
use. Have burner system and stove 
inspected yearly by a qualified service 
person. Burner system and stove may 
need more frequent cleaning due to 
excessive lint from carpeting, bedding 
material, pet hair, etc. 
WARNING: Handle glass door panel 
with care. Do not strike, slam, or 
otherwise abuse glass. Do not operate 
burner system with the glass door 
removed, cracked, or broken. 
Warning: Do not use abrasive 
cleaners as this may damage glass. 
Use a nonabrasive household glass 
cleaner to clean glass. Do not clean 
glass when hot. 
WARNING: Only parts supplied by 
the manufacturer should be used 
when replacing broken or damaged 
glass door panel (see Replacement 
Parts, page 29). This glass door panel 
is a complete unit. No substitute 
materials may be used. 
CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety 
glasses while handling or removing 
broken glass. Do not remove if glass is 
hot. Keep children and pets away 
from glass. 
 
If glass has been broken, carefully 
remove glass door (See Removing/
Replacing Glass Door, page 18 & 19). 
Vacuum all glass pieces with a shop vac. 
Use only the ceramic glass door 
replacement intended for this burner 
system (see Replacement Parts, page 29 
for detail on ordering). No substitutions 
may be made. See Removing/Replacing 
Glass Door, page 18 & 19 for 
instructions for replacing glass door. 
PILOT AND BURNERS 
Periodic visual check of pilot and 
burner flames 
•
Burner and controls should be 
cleaned with compressed air to 
remove dust, dirt, or lint. 
•
Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft 
bristled brush to remove excess dust, 
dirt, or lint. 
WARNING: Do not operate burner 
system with the glass door removed, 
cracked, or broken. 
 
LOGS 
•
If you remove logs for cleaning, refer 
to Installing Logs, page 20 to 
properly replace logs. 
•
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any 
carbon buildup on logs. 
•
Replace logs if broken. See 
Replacement Parts on page 29. 
VENTING SYSTEM 
Periodic examination of venting 
systems by a qualified agency. 
1. Check areas of venting system that 
are exposed to the weather for 
corrosion (rust spots or streaks and, 
in extreme cases, holes). Have these 
items replaced immediately by a 
qualified service person. 
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a
flashlight into the vent. Remove any 
foreign material. 
3. Check for evidence of excessive
condensation. Continuous condensa-
tion can cause corrosion of caps, 
pipes, and fittings and can be caused 
by having excessive lateral runs, too 
many elbows, or exterior portions of 
the system being exposed to cold 
weather. 
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe
section or fitting has been disturbed 
and loosened. Check mechanical 
supports such as wall straps for 
rigidity.
