A no-BS guide from someone who just did it
Here's a quick how-to for handling the Clearview® glass window on your Monument Grill — whether you're installing, removing, or cleaning it.
Why Bother with the Glass Window?
- See your food without opening the lid constantly.
- Prevents grease buildup that affects performance.
- Clean glass lasts longer and looks better.
Installing the Clearview Window
1. Let the grill cool down completely.
Never work with hot metal or glass.
2. Clean the frame.
Wipe away grease or ash for a snug, clean fit.
3. Align the glass with the screw holes.
It should fit naturally — don’t force it.
4. Start screws by hand in a crisscross pattern.
This keeps pressure even and avoids cracks.
5. Gently tighten with a screwdriver.
Secure, but don’t overtighten.
6. Check gasket/seal (if applicable).
It should sit evenly with no gaps.
Removing the Glass Window
1. Power off and let the grill cool.
Always start safe.
2. Loosen screws in a crisscross pattern.
Even pressure helps avoid breakage.
3. Gently lift the glass out.
If it's stuck, wiggle it gently — don’t pry.
4. Place on a towel or soft cloth.
Protect the surface while cleaning or storing.

Cleaning the Glass Window
You’ll Need:
- Dry microfiber cloth (lint-free)
- Non-abrasive glass cleaner or degreaser
- Optional: soft sponge + gloves
1. Wait until the grill is completely cool.
2. Wipe away loose debris with a dry cloth.
3. Spray cleaner onto the cloth — not directly on glass.
4. Wipe gently in circles.
Focus on grease spots; no pressure needed.
5. Buff dry with a clean section of cloth.
For Tough Buildup:
- Let cleaner sit 30–60 seconds before wiping.
- Use a soft sponge, never abrasive tools.
How Often Should You Clean It?
- Every few uses or when visibility drops.
- Grill often? Clean more frequently, especially after fatty meats.
Final Thoughts
Keeping your Clearview window clean isn't just about looks — it helps your grill perform better and last longer. Make it part of your routine and enjoy better barbecue every time.
