Maintenance - Valor 738BVN Installation And Owner's Manual

Warning : Use only genuine Valor parts, do not use substitute materials.
20.1 Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During startup, condensation, which is normal, forms on
the inside of the glass and causes dust, lint etc. to cling to the glass surface. Initially paint, while curing, may
deposit a slight fi lm on the glass. We therefore recommend that, during the fi rst few weeks of use, the glass
be cleaned two or three times with non-abrasive common household cleaners such as dish soap and warm
water.
Ammonia based cleaners should NOT be used. Subsequently the glass should be cleaned two or three
times a season depending on the circumstances.
Do not clean the glass while it is hot. Always close the window securely before lighting.
20.2 To Clean the Inside of the Glass
Warning : Do not clean the appliance when hot!!
