Cleaning Your Fireplace

Important - Glass cleaning - Mineral deposits

One of the by-products of the combustion process in

a gas appliance is a mineral which can show up as a

white ﬁ lm on the ceramic glass of the viewing door.

The composition of the deposit varies with location and

time. It is believed to be associated with the varying

sulfur content of the gas. You may have the problem

intermittently.

We have consulted with ceramic glass manufacturers

and they cannot offer a deﬁ nitive solution to this prob-

lem. Dealers have tried various cleaning products with

varying results. The following are recommendations

only and are not meant to guarantee results.

NOTE: This is a problem beyond Miles Industries’

control and is not covered under warranty.

• Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice

the buildup (white ﬁ lm). If the ﬁ lm is left for a longer

period of time, it will etch into the glass. It is then

much harder, if not impossible, to remove.

• NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic

glass. Any abrasion of the surface has the

immediate effect of compromising the strength of the

glass. An emulsion type cleaner is recommended.

• Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the

glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth. Most

paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive to

ceramic glass and should be avoided.

• Our dealers have had good results from the

products listed below. We cannot, however,

guarantee the results of these products.

Always securely replace the window and the barrier

screen before lighting.

If broken, the glass pane may only be replaced

as a complete window unit as supplied by the

If the barrier becomes damaged, the barrier shall

appliance.

To remove the window for

soap and water.

Dust the barrier screen with a soft brush.

Dust the ﬁ rebox ceramic logs/rocks and walls with a

soft brush. Dust can also be removed from the burner

using a soft brush after removing the ceramic logs.

When cleaning, make sure that no particles are

brushed into the slots of the burner.

To reﬁ t the window:

1. Place the window centrally

against the engine unit resting it

on the support at bottom front of

the engine.

2. Pull the clamping bars forward

and hook them to the window

frame bracket to secure the top

of the window.

3. Fit the two spring loaded bolts

through the bottom of the window

and tighten to secure the bottom

of the window.
