removed by using a moist cloth or non-
scratching cleaning detergent (ceramic
glass cleaner). Do not use corrosive
or abrasive substances for cleaning
the fireplace. Damage to varnish is
not included in the warranty. Small

Anti-reflective glass is polished ceramic
glass to which a number of metal oxide
coatings have been applied that reduce
the reflection to less than 1%.
To prevent damage to these coatings, it
is important that you carefully comply

blue/purple discolouration can become
visible on the anti-reflective glass, as a
result of using the gas fire.
