Make sure the gas valve knob is in the "OFF" position. Wait at least five (5) minutes before
start-ing maintenance.
VeNtiNG SySteM
A qualified agency should examine the venting system annually.
CleANiNG GlASS
Clean the ceramic glass periodically. Condensation will sometimes form on the glass during a
cold startup. This is normal for all gas fireplaces and inserts. This condensation often attracts
dust and lint to the surface of the glass. The initial paint curing of the appliance can also leave
a slight film on the glass. This is a temporary problem.
You should clean the glass after the first two weeks of use. After that, you should clean the
glass no more than two or three times a season. Use a mild glass cleaner to clean the door.
Do not use abrasive cleaners. They will damage the glass surface.
