Looks like an older Regency model Fireplace Insert (E33?) to me. If you open the bottom louvers, there should be a rating plate under the gas valve.
Depending on the age of the unit, there are different means of removing the fronts.
They may be held by springs or the may be held by screws.
In order to remove the bay front you need to take a couple of steps.
1. Pull the top louver straight out. It has two tabs that slide into slots to hold it.
2. Lower the bottom louver. Look into the valve cavity & you will see two spring-loaded handles.*
Pull them straight out to release the front.
*If you don't see the handles, the front is held by screws in the for corners. 2 up & 2 down.
3. Grasp the bottom of the bay front and swing it out. Then lift it up.
In order to clean the glass correctly, you need to use a ceramic paste. Rutland White Out is a good product, but you can use the same paste that is recommended for cleaning ceramic stove tops.

Under the bottom louver on top of the glass, in the center is a 7/16th bolt. Unscrew this and then the top louvers will pull out and you can easily pull the glass to clean it.
Good luck.
