Let the fi replace cool fi rst before cleaning it.
Important - Glass cleaning - Mineral deposits
One of the by-products of the combustion process in
a gas appliance is a mineral which can show up as a
white fi lm on the ceramic glass of the viewing door.
The composition of the deposit varies with location and
time. It is believed to be associated with the varying
sulfur content of the gas. You may have the problem
intermittently.
We have consulted with ceramic glass manufacturers
and they cannot offer a defi nitive solution to this prob-
lem. Dealers have tried various cleaning products with
varying results. The following are recommendations
only and are not meant to guarantee results.
NOTE: This is a problem beyond Miles Industries'
control and is not covered under warranty.
• Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice
the buildup (white fi lm). If the fi lm is left for a longer
period of time, it will etch into the glass. It is then
much harder, if not impossible, to remove.
• NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the
ceramic glass. Any abrasion of the surface
has the immediate effect of compromising the
strength of the glass. An emulsion type cleaner is
recommended.
• Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the
glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth. Most
paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive to
ceramic glass and should be avoided.
• Our dealers have had good results from the
products listed below. We cannot, however,
guarantee the results of these products.
