Maintenance

Cleaning the Glass

• Allow the glass to cool completely before cleaning.
• Use a non-abrasive glass cleaner specifically designed for fireplace glass. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners as they can damage the glass.
• Apply cleaner to a soft cloth, then wipe the glass. Do not spray cleaner directly onto hot glass.

Cleaning the Frame and Mesh

• Wipe the oil-rubbed bronze frame with a soft, damp cloth.
• For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and drying thoroughly.
• Use a soft brush or vacuum with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris from the mesh panels.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.

General Care

• Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight.
• Inspect hinges and magnetic catches for proper function.
• Do not hang items on the doors or frame.

Troubleshooting

Glass Doors Not Closing Properly

• Check for any obstructions in the hinge area or along the frame.
• Ensure the magnetic catches are aligned and free of debris.
• Verify the unit is level and securely installed. Adjust mounting brackets if necessary.

Excessive Heat Loss

• Ensure the glass doors are fully closed when the fireplace is not in use.
• Check the seal around the fireplace opening and the door frame for any gaps.

Sparks Escaping
