WINDOW CLEANING:
[COLD STOVE ONLY as hot glass may cause serious burns] To enjoy a clear view of the fire you should clean your window as needed with a soft cloth or paper towel. You may use a Fireplace glass cleaner or vinegar water to remove heavy build up on the window.
Mirror cleaners and oven cleaners will leave a film on the glass and attract smoke like a magnate.
HOME TIP: Dampen a piece of newsprint with water, dip this into the fly ash, then rub down the glass. This works like a charm. Do not use abrasive chemical cleaners.
DO NOT OPERATE STOVE WITH BROKEN GLASS AS LEAKAGE OF FLUE GASES MAY RESULT.
DOOR & TRIM CLEANING:
Fingerprints or other marks left on gold surfaces may become etched in place, if they are not wiped clean prior to turning the stove on. Use a damp cloth to wipe clean.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS AS YOU WILL REMOVE OR SCRATCH THE PLATING!
