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 and lint 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.
