A. The heater should not be cleaned with any type of detergent as most all detergents have an oil base
and cannot be painted over.
B. The heater should be lightly sanded with fine sandpaper or steel wool, then repainted or touched up
with high temperature paint.
C. If the heater is located in a moist or damp location, check thoroughly for signs of condensation
during times when heater is not in use.
D. When heating season is over, heater should be cleaned out completely with a wire brush or cloth to
help eliminate ash and burned wood smell.
The glass door on your heater permits you to enjoy the beauty of the fire while retaining efficiency of
your heater. Although brand of glass used in heater door has well established and recognized heat
resistant and strength characteristics, it can be broken through improper care. To achieve maximum
utility and safety of your glass door, we advise that you observe following use and safety tips:
1. Inspect glass regularly for cracks or breaks. If you detect a crack or break extinguish fire
immediately and return door to your dealer for glass replacement before further use.
2. Do not slam heater door or otherwise impact glass. When closing door, make sure that no logs or
other objects protrude to impact against glass.
3. Do not clean glass with materials which may scratch it (such as steel wool) or otherwise damage
glass. Scratches on the glass can develop into cracks or breaks.
The glass can be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner, providing it does not contain abrasives. A
build-up on glass that has been there for a considerable length of time can be burned off with a propane
torch or straight razor blade
