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.
Allow glass to cool completely before
cleaning.
Do not clean glass when it is hot.
Damage could occur.
