Your Radiance Gas Heater will provide years of service 
with minimal upkeep. The following procedures will help 
ensure that your stove continues to function properly.

Have the entire heater and venting system inspected 
annually by a qualified gas technician. Replace any 
worn or broken parts.

Cleanliness is critical to the proper function of the 
heater. The logset and burner must all be kept free of 
dust and unobstructed by debris. Inspect these areas 
before each use and clean as necessary.

1.  Turn the burner OFF and let the heater cool com-

pletely before cleaning.

2.  Lift the Stove Front up and then swing the bottom 

out to disengage it from the heater shell. (Fig. 76)

3.  Carefully remove the glass and frame assembly 

and place it out of the way on a flat, padded surface 
such as a counter protected by a towel.

4.  Carefully inspect the Logs for damage. Contact your 

local dealer if any damage is evident. 

5.  Use a soft bristled brush to sweep dust or debris 

from the Logs, Pilot and Burner. Use care as the 
logs are fragile and susceptible to damage. 

6.  Replace the glass panel and frame assembly.
7.  Replace the Stove Front.

An occasional dusting with a dry rag will help keep the 
painted surfaces looking new. Use high-temperature 
stove paints, available through your local dealer, to 
touch-up areas as needed. Clean areas to be painted 
with a wire brush and be sure to cover the logs, burner 
and valve assembly, glass and frame assembly. Apply 
the paint sparingly; two light coats of paint will give bet-
ter results than a single heavy coat.

Clean porcelain enamel surfaces with a soft, damp 
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If neces-
sary, use only a cleaning agent formulated especially 
for use on porcelain enamel surfaces.

It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. Dur-
ing 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-ammonia household 
cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas fireplace 
glass cleaner). After that the glass should be cleaned 
two or three times during each heating season depend-
ing on the circumstances present.

Replace glass only with CFM Corporation approved 
parts. Refer to Page 43 for Replacement Parts. Refer to 
Figure 77 and previous instructions for removal of the 
damaged glass frame.
