Cleaning AROUND Your Fireplace
Your Valor outdoor gas fi replace will tolerate moderate
amounts of water on an occasional basis but is not

to clean the areas around the fi replace.

WARNING
!
DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT!
Let the fi replace cool fi rst before cleaning it.
Important - Glass cleaning - Mineral deposits
One of the by-products of the combustion process in
a gas appliance is a mineral which can show up as a
white fi lm on the ceramic glass of the viewing door.
The composition of the deposit varies with location and
time. It is believed to be associated with the varying
sulfur content of the gas. You may have the problem
intermittently.
We have consulted with ceramic glass manufacturers
and they cannot offer a defi nitive solution to this prob-
lem. Dealers have tried various cleaning products with
varying results. The following are recommendations
only and are not meant to guarantee results.
NOTE: This is a problem beyond Miles Industries'
control and is not covered under warranty.
• Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice
the buildup (white fi lm). If the fi lm is left for a longer
period of time, it will etch into the glass. It is then
much harder, if not impossible, to remove.
• NEVER use an abrasive cleaner or ammonia-
based cleaner on the ceramic glass. Any
abrasion of the surface has the immediate effect of
compromising the strength of the glass. An emulsion
type cleaner is recommended.
• Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the
glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth. Most
paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive
to ceramic glass and should be avoided.
