sustainable and safe use annually. Malfunctions
to the gas fire must be fixed instantly. Inform

Before and after the heating season
On the inside of the glass, deposits may form
after some time. This can be removed with a
damp cloth or non-scratch cleaning agent
(ceramic glass cleaner). Do not use corrosive or
abrasive agents to clean the fireplace. Paint
damage is not covered by the guarantee. Minor
damage can be touched up with heat-resistant
lacquer. Lacquer is available from Kalfire.

WARNING
Different cleaning instructions apply for
antireflective glass.
The gas fire glass can become dirty when the
fireplace is burning, but also when being taken
into use. Potential causes can be: Smoking
materials in the fireplace (especially in the
beginning), air contamination, quality of the
type of gas etc.
Requirements :
•
Filth and stains on the glass must be
removed immediately.
•
Never turn on the fireplace when it has filth
or stains on the glass. This can lead to
permanent and no removable contamination.
•
Clean the glass after the first use of the
fireplace and clean the glass regularly in the
initial period.
•
Use scratch-free cleaning substances only.
7.1.2 Cleaning instructions anti-reflective
glass
The gas fire glass can become dirty when the
fireplace is burning, but also when being taken
into use. Potential causes can be:
Smoking materials in the fireplace (especially in
the beginning), air contamination, quality of the
type of gas etc.
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 with the
following cleaning instructions. A blue/purple
discolouration can become visible on the anti-
reflective glass, as a result of using the gas fire.
Requirements:
•
Filth or stains on the glass must be removed
immediately.
•
Never turn on the fireplace if the glass is
filthy or stained. This can lead to permanent
and non-removable contamination.
•
Clean the glass after the first use of the
fireplace and clean the glass regularly in the
initial period.
•
Wear (rubber) gloves when cleaning the
glass; fingerprints are particularly noticeable
on antireflective glass.
•
Use water and a soft cotton cloth, chamois
leather or a microfiber cloth.
•
Use neutral glass detergent only: water
solution with neutral or light alkaline
detergent without additives or abrasive
substances. The acceptable share of
ammonia and solvents that are organically
soluble in water must be smaller than 5%.
•
Carefully clean the glass: use sufficient
moisture, avoid pressure and rub the
substance from top to bottom, to prevent
cleaning detergent to remain on the glass.
•
Continuously dry the glass completely using
the cloth.
•
When using a vacuum lifter to remove the
door, the suction cup rubber must be clean
in order to prevent damage to the coating.
