CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off fireplace
and let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep
control areas, burners, and cir-
culating air passages of fireplace
clean. Inspect these areas of
fireplace before each use. Have
fireplace inspected yearly by a
qualified service person. Fire-
place may need more frequent
cleaning due to excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding mate
rial, pet hair, etc.
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
abrasive cleaners as this may
damage glass. Use a nonabra-
sive household 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, page
17, 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
34). 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 remove 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
17). 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,
page 34 for detail on ordering). No substitutions
may be made. See Removing/Replacing Glass
Door, page 17 for instructions for replacing

WARNING: Do not block
required air openings around
glass or louver panels. Venti-
lated compartments should be
inspected and vacuumed at least
once a year to prevent blockage
prior to operation.
