  • Page 30: Cleaning

    16.2. 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 film on the glass. We therefore recommend that, during the first few weeks of use, the glass is cleaned two or three times with non-abrasive common household cleaners and warm water.
