MAINTENANCE (continued)

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). We do not recommend using packaged spray type household glass cleaner. After that the glass should be cleaned two or three times during each heating season depending on the circumstances present.
