Cleaning instructions anti-reflective
glass
The gas fire glass can become dirty when the
fireplace is burning, but also when being taken
into use. Potential causes can be:
Smoking materials in the fireplace (especially in
the beginning), air contamination, quality of the
type of gas etc.
Anti-reflective glass is polished ceramic glass to
which a number of metal oxide coatings have
been applied that reduce the reflection to less
than 1%. To prevent damage to these coatings, it
is important that you carefully comply with the
following cleaning instructions. A blue/purple
discolouration can become visible on the anti-
reflective glass, as a result of using the gas fire.
Requirements:
Filth or stains on the glass must be removed
•
immediately.
Never turn on the fireplace if the glass is
•
filthy or stained. This can lead to permanent
and non-removable contamination.
Clean the glass after the first use of the
•
fireplace and clean the glass regularly in the
initial period.
Wear (rubber) gloves when cleaning the
•
glass; fingerprints are particularly noticeable
on antireflective glass.
Use water and a soft cotton cloth, chamois
•
leather or a microfiber cloth.
Use neutral glass detergent only: water
•
solution with neutral or light alkaline
detergent without additives or abrasive
substances. The acceptable share of
ammonia and solvents that are organically
soluble in water must be smaller than 5%.
Carefully clean the glass: use sufficient
•
moisture, avoid pressure and rub the
substance from top to bottom, to prevent
cleaning detergent to remain on the glass.
Continuously dry the glass completely using
•
the cloth.
When using a vacuum lifter to remove the
•
door, the suction cup rubber must be clean
in order to prevent damage to the coating.
