circulating air passageways of

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 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 23 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
23). Vacuum all glass pieces with a shop vac.
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if
