WARNING: Do not use
abrasive cleaners as this may
damage glass. Use a nonabra-
sive household glass cleaner to
clean glass. Do not clean glass
when hot.
Glass must be cleaned periodically. Dur-
ing start up it is normal for condensation to
form on the inside of glass causing lint, dust
and other airborne particles to cling to glass
surface. During initial start up a slight film
may form on glass due to paint curing. Glass
should be cleaned several times with a non-
ammonia, nonabrasive household cleaner
and warm water after the first two weeks of
operation. Afterwards, clean glass two or three
times during each heating season, depend-
ing on the usage and circumstances present.
Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass Door on
page 24 of this manual when removing glass
door for cleaning.
WARNING: Only parts sup-
plied by the manufacturer should
be used when replacing broken
or damaged glass door panel
(see Replacement Parts, page
