Care and Cleaning of Your Glass Doors
Never clean the glass when the doors are hot.
Do not use ammonia or ammonia based glass
or household cleaner to clean the glass or the
door frame. An ammonia based cleaner will
damage the fi nish of your glass door.
In most cases, a clean dampened towel followed
by a dry towel will clean the glass. To remove
any stubborn stains from the glass, use a mild
soap solution and a towel dampened with clean
water and then dry with a clean dry towel.
Glass Door Operating Safety
Precautions and Instructions
• The fi re must always be confi ned within the
boundaries of the fuel grate.
• The fi replace screens must always be closed
whenever the fi replace is operated.
• Never slam the glass door since it could
cause the glass to break.
• Do not build excessively large or hot fi res.
Scorching or discoloring of the solid brass
or plated brass trim could result.
• Extreme temperature changes can cause
glass breakage — do not build a hot fi re and
close the glass doors if the doors are cold.
• If the tempered glass pane becomes
scratched or chipped, it creates a weakness
in the glass which can cause the glass to
break when heated. Replace the pane of
glass by contacting your nearest dealer or
distributor.

WARNING
These fi replaces should be oper-
ated with both sets of glass doors
fully closed. If the doors are left
open or partially closed, gas and
fl ame may be drawn out of the
fi replace opening, creating risks
of both fi re and smoke. Refer
to Figures 2 and 3 for proper
operating conditions.
CAUTION
If a smoking condition exists,
glass doors should be closed
during fi replace operation.

STARTING A FIRE
1. To start a fi re in your fi replace properly, fi rst
check the operation of the fl ue damper.
To open the damper on the CST fi replaces,
push the center damper handle straight up.
To close pull handle down. See Figure 5
2. The grate in the fi rebox should be centered
on or over the bottom hearth so your fi re
can breath properly. Crumble and twist
plenty of newspapers UNDER the grate
and criss-cross some small dry kindling
sticks on top of the paper or on the bottom
of the grate.
3. Build a pyramid of three split logs (split will
start much faster). Arrange the uneven wood
to provide plenty of air space between.
4. Now, light the paper at both sides of the
fi rebox.
5. Close the screens to prevent the escape of
sparks and embers.
6. Close the damper only when your fi re is
completely out and ashes are cold. Keep
closed when fi replace is not in use to prevent
unnecessary loss of heated or cooled air.
GLASS DOORS
These fi replaces come standard with bi-fold
design glass door enclosures with tempered
glass panes. Removal or modifi cations to the
standard glass doors may void your warranty
and cause a smoking condition.
CAUTION
Glass and metal frames get hot
— Always use handles to open
and close the doors.
WARNING
Be aware that safety glass is
unpredictable when hot and
may break, expelling hot glass
into the room. Advise all family
members to remain well away
from the fi replace when operat-
ing with doors closed to avoid any
possible personal injury.
