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, nonabrasive 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 Remov-

ing/Replacing Glass Door, page 24 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

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 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

24). Vacuum all glass pieces with a shop vac.

CAUTION: Do not vacuum if
