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, 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 Remov-
ing/Replacing Glass Door, page 25 of this manual
when removing glass door for cleaning.
WARNING: Only parts sup-
plied by the manufacturer should
be used when replacing broken
or damaged glass door panel
(see Replacement Parts, page
38). 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
25). Vacuum all glass pieces with a shop vac.
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if
pieces are hot.
Use only the tempered glass door replacement
intended for this fireplace (see Replacement Parts,

vENTING SYSTEM
Conduct annual inspection of the venting system
following these guidelines:
1. Check areas of venting system that are ex-
posed to the weather for corrosion (rust spots
or streaks and, in extreme cases, holes). Have
these items replaced immediately by a quali-
fied 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 condensation 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.
