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 widely from
various locations and also from time to time in the same
location. It seems this is associated with the varying
sulfur content of the gas. You may have the problem for
a time and then not see it for many months when it will
reappear in your area.
We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass
manufacturers and they cannot give us a defi nitive
answer to this problem. Dealers have tried various
cleaning products with varying results. The following
recommendations will not guarantee results in your
particular case.
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 bake on. 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.

Do not clean the glass while it is hot.
Always securely replace the window before lighting.
If broken, the glass pane may only be replaced
as a complete window unit as supplied by the
manufacturer.
It is necessary to remove the cast iron fret and
brackets or the bottom cover before removing the
window—see previous installation sections.
The window can be removed for cleaning by rotating
the two fastening studs at the bottom corners 90
degrees to release, and swinging the bottom of the
window unit outwards to unhook the top edge.
If the Hot Glass Warning plate has been removed
from the front lower corner of the window, reinstall
it by sliding it between the glass and the frame as
indicated.
Dust, etc. can be brushed from the ceramic fuel effects
and fi rebox walls after removing the front unit and
opening the window. Dust etc. can also be removed
from the burner using a soft brush after removing the
ceramic fuel effects. When cleaning, make sure that
no particles are brushed into the slots in the burner.
