MaINTENaNCE
WARNING: Turn off fireplace
and let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep
control areas, burners and
circulating air passageways of
fireplace clean. Inspect these
areas of fireplace before each

GLASS DOOR
WARNING: Handle glass
door panel with care. Do not
strike, slam or otherwise abuse
glass. Do not operate fireplace
with the glass door unlatched,
removed, cracked or broken.
WARNING: Do not use abra-
sive cleaners as this may damage
glass. Use a nonabrasive house-
hold glass cleaner to clean glass.
Do not clean glass when hot.
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, non-
abrasive 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 24 of this manual when removing glass
door for cleaning.
WARNING: Only parts
supplied by the manufacturer
should be used when replacing
broken or damaged glass door
panel (see Replacement Parts,
page 36). 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 re-
move 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 23).
Vacuum all glass pieces with a shop vac.
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if
pieces are hot.
