Routine Cleaning and Maintenance
If the glass has build up that can not be removed with only the cloth, clean the glass using paper towel
and a gas appliance glass cleaner, this may be purchased through most dealers. If a gas appliance glass
cleaner is not available, use a damp paper towel dipped in fly ash to clean the glass. After the glass has
been cleaned use the dry soft cloth to wiping down the outside and inside of the glass.
ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS (weekly)
After extended use the gasketing may come loose. To repair this, glue the gasketing on using high-
temperature fiberglass gasket glue available from your local dealer. This is important to maintain an
airtight assembly.
