26" Curve Insert Fireplace cleaning

2015 BigHorn 3570RS

HELP!! Spiders have taken up residence inside the glass LOL.

Of course the owners manual is useless as there are NO instructions to clean the INSIDE.
removal from the cut-out is a piece of cake, from the way the fireplace box looks one has to remove a bunch of screws along both sides of the box to remove
the front of the fireplace. Before going that road, I thought I'd ask if anyone has been there before? Is that a correct assumption?
Anything to watch out for?

Turn on fireplace.......spiders die from heat.........spiders all gone.........

maybe there's a space you can use some canned air to blow the spider stuff out?? Some cans come with a small red straw....

I had ours apart a while back to clean the glass. I don't remember exactly, but yes, there were a bunch of screws that had to be removed in order to slide the glass out. I don't have any scars, so it must have been pretty straightforward.

It's a pain, but doable.
