How do I clean my glass?<\/h3>

It is very important to clean your glass after the initial 3 hours of burn time. Failure to do so can cause permanent etching of your glass.<\/span><\/p>\n

1) Make sure your glass is completely cooled. It is also recommended to turn the gas off when servicing your appliance.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Remove the front face or louvers of your fireplace; carefully remove the glass assembly of your fireplace (following the instructions in your manual) and lay it on a soft surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Wipe both sides with household glass cleaner (do not use a product with ammonia), using a soft cloth.<\/span><\/p>\n

4) For heavy deposits, use Stove Bright Glass Cleaner , Rutland White Off Glass Cleaner, or other hard water deposit glass cleaner recommended by your servicing dealer.<\/span><\/p>\n

5) Carefully replace glass on front of fireplace (following the instructions in your manual), making sure glass assembly and front are secured.<\/span><\/p>\n

6) After this initial cleaning, clean your glass as often as necessary, particularly if adding new ember material.<\/span><\/p>\n

Never use any abrasive cleaners or cloths to clean your glass. Scratching can cause the glass to shatter<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
