7.3 Cleaning of Glass
It is recommended to clean the glass door with a soft cloth, damped with a non-abrasive solution, such as soap
and water.
CAUTION: Cleaning the glass with an abrasive solution will result in surface scratches, reducing glass
transparency and resistance to impacts.
The glass of the door may be cleaned with commercial products intended for fireplaces and stoves. After
cleaning the glass, remove any remaining solutions with a wet cloth to avoid chemical reactions at elevated
temperatures
(“cloudiness’’ on the surface of the glass).
CAUTION: Do not apply commercial cleaners or soap onto any painted surfaces as
discoloration/peeling may occur.
NOTE: Never clean the glass when the unit is in operation or hot.
