Can you remove the glass in front to allow more heat into the room?

Hello, no the glass should not be removed for any reason during operation. The glass front or any part removed for servicing the appliance or any other reason must be replaced prior to operating the appliance. Work should be done by a qualified service person. The glass used in your stove is tempered glass, If the glass is cracked or damaged in any way, it should be replaced only with a complete glass frame assembly from Empire. Use without glass will void warranty.
