PLEASE NOTE

It is normal for appliances fabricated of steel to give off some expansion and/or contraction noised during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.

Glass Cleaning

It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three times with a non-abrasive household cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). After that the glass should be cleaned two or three times during each heating season depending on the circumstances present.
