GLASS CLEANING

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-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
depending on the circumstances present.
Clean glass after first two weeks of
operation.

compartment clean. This must be done periodically, at
least once per season. (See Cleaning Procedure).
2. Clean the brass trim using a soft clean cloth, slightly
dampened with lemon oil and buff with a soft clean
cloth. Do NOT use brass polish or household cleaners
as these products will damage the brass trim. Lemon

cleaning. Check the fan and the area around the fan
assembly and wipe or vacuum at least once per month
during the operating season.
