WARNING: Turn off fireplace and let cool before
cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burn-
ers, and circulating air passages of fireplace clean.
Inspect these areas of fireplace before each use.

GLASS DOOR
WARNING: Handle glass door panel with care.
Do not strike, slam, or otherwise abuse glass. Do
not operate fireplace with the glass door removed,
cracked, or broken.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners as this
may damage glass. Use a nonabrasive household glass
cleaner to clean glass. Do not clean glass when hot.
Glass must be cleaned periodically. During start-up it is normal for
condensation to form on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust,
and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. During initial
start-up a slight film may form on the glass due to paint curing. The
glass should be cleaned several times with a non-ammonia, non-
abrasive household cleaner and warm water after the first two weeks
of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two or three times during
each heating season, depending on the usage and circumstances
present. Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 15, when
removing glass door for cleaning.
WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manufacturer
should be used when replacing broken or damaged
glass door panel (see Replacement Parts, page 30).
This glass door panel is a complete unit. No substitute
materials may be used.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety glasses while
handling or removing broken glass. Do not remove if
glass is hot. Keep children and pets away from glass.
If glass has been broken, carefully remove glass door (see Remov-
ing/Replacing Glass Door, page 15). Vacuum all glass pieces with
a shop vac.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if pieces are hot.
Use only the tempered glass door replacement intended for this
fireplace (see Replacement Parts, page 30 for detail on ordering).
No substitutions may be made. See Removing/Replacing Glass Door,
page 15 for instructions for replacing glass door.
WARNING: Do not block required air openings
around glass or louver panels. Ventilated compart-
ments should be inspected and vacuumed at least
once a year to prevent blockage prior to operation.
PILOT AND BURNERS
• Remove ember material before cleaning burners and replace
• Burner and controls should be cleaned with compressed air to
remove dust, dirt or lint.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled brush to remove
excess dust, dirt or lint.
LOGS
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Installing Logs and Glow-
ing Embers, page 16, to properly replace logs.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any carbon buildup on logs.
• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replacement Parts, page 30.
• Replace ember material periodically as needed. See Replacement
Parts, page 30.
VENTING SYSTEM
Conduct annual inspection of the venting system following these
guidelines:
1. Check areas of venting system that are exposed to the weather
corrosion (rust spots or streaks and in extreme cases, holes).
Have these items replaced immediately by a qualified service
person.
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a flashlight into vent. Remove any
foreign material.
3. Check for evidence of excessive condensation. Continuous con-
densation can cause corrosion of caps, pipes and fittings and can
be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows or
exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section or fitting has been
distributed and loosened. Check mechanical supports such as
wall straps for rigidity.
