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

use. Have fireplace inspected

yearly by a qualified service

person. Fireplace may need

more frequent cleaning due to

excessive lint from carpeting,

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.
