any gas control which has been under water.

Cleaning

When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoke and
a visible film may be left on the glass. This is a normal condition,
and is the result of curing of protective coatings on new metal.
Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film
„
(which is a normal by-product of combustion) which may
be visible. Film can easily be removed by removing the
door, as shown on Page 24. Handle the door carefully, and
clean it with nonabrasive glass cleaners. One of the most
effective products is Kel Kem.
Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas",
„
leaving a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion
chamber walls. This can easily be removed from the chamber
walls using normal household products.
Use a vacuum cleaner keep the control compartment, burner,
„
and firebox free from dust and lint.
NOTICE
Do not use ammonia based or abrasive cleaners on the glass, they will permanently
etch the surface. Use an approved gas fireplace glass cleaner such as Kel-Kem or
White off.
