CLEANING PLATED SURFACES
IMPORTANT: You must clean all the ngerprints and oils
from the plated surfaces before ring the insert for the rst
time. Use warm soapy water and a soft rag, glass cleaner
and a paper towel, or vinegar and a paper towel to remove
the oils. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners! If not cleaned
properly prior to lighting the rst re, the oils can cause per-
manent stains. The plating will be cured upon ring of the
insert and oils will no longer affect the nish. Subsequently,
little maintenance is then required. Wipe clean as needed
with a soft towel.
GLASS REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Remove door from insert and lay on a padded at surface.
2.
Remove glass retainer screws using a Phillips screw driver.
. Lift glass out of the door frame and/or side frames.
4. Lay new glass with berglass tape around it into door
frame and/or side frames.
5. Place glass retainers over the berglass tape on the
edges of the glass and re-install screws. Be sure glass
is centered in the opening (i.e. same space top and
bottom, left and right).
6.
Tighten screws enough to hold frame and glass in place.
7. Check again for centering of glass in door and/or side
frames and give all screws a nal tightening.
Quadra-Fire inserts are equipped with super heat resistant
ceramic glass which can only be broken by impact or misuse.
Clean glass with any non-abrasive glass cleaner. Abrasive
cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack. Inspect
glass regularly. If you nd a crack or break, immediately put
the re out and return the door to your authorized dealer for
replacement of glass before further use. Do not substitute
materials for glass replacement.

Will corrode pipe.
WARNING
Remove all ash from the rebox and extinguish all hot embers
before disposal. Allow the appliance to cool completely.
Disconnect ue pipe or remove bafe and ceramic blanket from
appliance before cleaning chimney. Otherwise residue can pile
up on top of the bafe and ceramic blanket and the appliance
will not work properly. (See Bafe Removal on ). Close
the door tightly. The creosote or soot should be removed with
a brush specically designed for the type of chimney in use.
Clean out fallen ashes from the rebox. A chimney sweep can
perform this service.
It is also recommended that before each heating season the
entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and repaired
if necessary.
Inspection: Inspect the system at the appliance connection
and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote
deposits quicker, so it is important to check the chimney from
the top as well as from the bottom.
Formation and Need For Removal: When wood is burned
slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine
with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors
condense in the relatively cool chimney ue of a newly-started or
a slow-burning re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on
the ue lining. When ignited, this creosote creates an extremely
hot re which may damage the chimney or even destroy the
house. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected
once every 2 months during the heating season to determine
if a creosote or soot buildup has occurred. If creosote or soot
has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a
chimney re.
If your type of installation is direct connect within a masonry
chimney, the insert will need to be pulled out from the re-
place and disconnected from the ue prior to cleaning the
chimney. The creosote can either be caught in a large gar-
bage bag secured to the pipe or swept and vacuumed out
of the replace. Reconnect the pipe and re-install the insert
following installation instructions in this manual.
Fire Risk.
Prevent creosote buildup.
WARNING
• Inspect chimney connector and chimney once every two
months during heating season.
• Remove creosote to reduce risk of chimney re.
• Ignited creosote is extremely HOT.
