The following use and safety tips should be observed:
1. Inspect the glass regularly for cracks and breaks.
If you detect a crack or break, extinguish the fire
immediately, and contact your dealer for replacement.
2. Do not slam door or otherwise impact the glass.
When closing doors, make sure that logs or other
objects to not protrude and impact the glass.
3. Do not clean the glass with materials which may
scratch (or otherwise damage) the glass. Scratches
on the glass can develop into cracks or breaks.
4. Never attempt to clean the glass while unit is hot. If
the deposit is not very heavy, normal glass cleaners
are adequate with a plain, non-abrasive scouring pad.
Heavier deposits may be removed with the use of a
readily available oven cleaner.

the unit since even small explosions in confined areas
can blow out the glass.

Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the
relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a
result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspect-
ed at least once ever two months during the heating sea-
son to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.
If the creosote has accumulated it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
