• Clean the firescreen front regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, soot, and fingerprints for a clear, polished appearance.
• Use only mild soap or approved glass/metal cleaner—avoid ammonia, abrasives, or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.
• Lightly dust mesh or screen openings weekly to maintain airflow and prevent buildup of debris.
• Inspect mounting brackets and fasteners periodically to ensure the front is securely attached and properly aligned.
• Check for heat discoloration or warping during seasonal use and report any damage early to prevent safety issues.
• Keep moisture away from the frame to prevent corrosion, spotting, or finish deterioration over time.
• Handle carefully when removing for cleaning to avoid bending the frame or damaging mounting hooks.
• Ensure the fireplace is completely cool before cleaning or maintenance to avoid burns or glass/metal stress damage.
