It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up 

condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and 

causes lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass 

surface. Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the 

glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two 

or three times with a non-abrasive household cleaner and warm 

water (we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). We do not 

recommend using packaged spray type household glass cleaner. 

After that the glass should be cleaned two or three times during 

each heating season depending on the circumstances present.
