Cleaning and Maintenance
The Fascia is the visible surround of your Escea Gas Fireplace and must be treated
carefully to prevent unsightly marks from tarnishing the visual quality of the product.
Some marking over time is inevitable however, so the following directions will assist
you in getting the maximum enjoyment from your Escea Gas Fireplace.
Never ever rub the fascia. For example, the high temperature silver powder
coating that is used on some Escea fascia parts contains certain amounts of
aluminium that when rubbed too hard will oxidise leaving a big black smudge that
cannot be removed. If the fire is operated with finger or other marks present on the
fascia panels, there is a risk of them being burnt into the fascia as the fire gets hot
from normal running.
For Stainless Steel Fascias (Outdoor and Direct Vent products):
1. Ensure that the Gas Fireplace is off, and that the fascia is cold.
2. Using the gloves provided with your fascia, remove the towelette from the sachet
and wipe the fascia with even, straight strokes.
3. Make sure your strokes follow the direction of the grain or brush finish. Wiping
across the grain can leave small scratches.
4. The wipe will leave a very fine film over the fascia, ensure this film is distributed
evenly.
5. If the film is applied too heavily and is quite visible, you can remove the excess by
gently wiping dry with a microfibre cloth. Ensure your strokes still follow the direction
of the grain or brush finish.
6. Ensure that no film is applied to the glass of your Escea Gas Fireplace. If applied
accidentally, wipe off with an absorbent microfibre cloth.
For Powder Coated Fascias (Inbuilt, Outdoor and Direct Vent products):
1. Ensure that the Gas Fireplace is off, and that the fascia is cold to the touch.
Cleaning the fascia
The outside of an Escea Fascia must only be cleaned with a soft microfibre cloth. If
heavier cleaning is required for the likes of grease or stubborn fingerprint removal
we recommend the use of: Steel Kleen brand Ezi Wipes for stainless steel fascias
only, and warm soapy water for powder coated fascia’s. These recommendations
have been tested by Escea technicians and produce satisfying results when used
correctly. Instructions for their use follows:
2. Using the gloves provided with your fascia, gently clean the fascia with a cloth
and warm soapy water.
3. Wipe off with an absorbent microfibre cloth.
