Quadra-Fire stoves are equipped with ceramic super heat-

resistant  glass,  which  can  only  be  broken  by  impact  or 

misuse. Do not slam stove door or impact the glass. When

closing door, make sure that logs do not protrude against the 

glass. Inspect glass regularly.  If you find a crack or break, 

immediately put the fire out and return the door to your dealer 

for replacement of glass before further use.

5.  Cleaning Plated Surfaces
•  Frequency: As necessary
•  By: Homeowner
•  Task:    Clean  all  the  fingerprints  and  oils  from  plated 

surfaces

BEFORE firing the appliance for the first time.  

If not cleaned properly before lighting your first fire, the 

oils can cause permanent markings on the plating.  Use 

warm soapy water and a soft rag, glass cleaner and a

paper towel, or vinegar and a paper towel to remove the

oils. After the plating is cured, the oils will not affect the

finish and little maintenance is required.  Wipe clean as 

needed.

A portion of the combustion air entering the firebox is 

deflected down over the inside of the door glass.  This 

air flow “washes” the glass, helping to keep smoke from 

adhering to its surface. When operated at a low burn

rate, less air will be flowing over the glass and the smoky, 

relatively cool condition of a low fire will cause the glass 

to  become  coated.    Operating  the  appliance  with  the

Primary Air Control all the way open for 15-0 minutes 

should remove the built up coating.

Handle glass assembly with care.
When cleaning glass:

•  Avoid striking, scratching or 

slamming glass.

•  Do NOT clean glass when hot.

•  Do NOT use abrasive cleaners.

•  Use a hard water deposit glass cleaner on white film.

•  Use commercial oven cleaner on heavier deposits.

•  Remove all residue of oven cleaner or will permanently

stain glass on next firing.

•  Refer to maintenance instructions.

•  By: Homeowner / Qualified service technician
•  Task: See the following instructions.

1.  Ensure that the fire is out and the appliance is cool 

to the touch.

towels.

.  Remove the door with the broken glass by lifting the 

door up and off of the hinges.

4.  Lay door face down on a table or counter making sure 

the handle hangs over the edge so the door lays flat, 

on a soft surface.

5.  Remove  the  screws  from  each  glass  retainer  and

remove the glass. (If screws are difficult to remove, 

soak with penetrating oil first).

6.  Center the new glass with edges evenly overlapping

the  opening  in  the  door,  (i.e.  same  space  top  and

bottom, left and right sides).

7.  Replace the glass retainers. Be careful not to cross

thread the screws.

8.  Tighten each retainer just a few turns until each is

secured.  Check again for centering of glass in door 

frame. Continue to tighten each retainer alternately,

a few turns at a time, until the glass is secure. DO

NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
