Figure 22 - Damper and Air Kit Handle
A replace equipped with glass doors operates
mush differently than a replace with an open
front. A replace with glass doors has a limited
amount of air for combustion. Excessive heat
within the replace can result if too large a re
is built or if the combustion air gate is not com-
pletely open.
The following tips should be followed to assure
that both the replace and the glass door retain
their beauty and function properly. Both the ue
damper and the glass doors must be fully opened
before starting the re. This will provide sufcient
combustion air and maintain safe temperatures in
the rebox.
IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed to
warm slowly and evenly. The tempered glass will
withstand a gradual temperature rise to 550° F,
which is more than a normal re will generate.
Such materials as pitch/wax laden logs, very dry
mill end lumber and large amounts of paper or
cardboard boxes can create an excessively hot re
and should not be burned in this replace. Always
keep the re well back from the doors and never
allow ames to contact the glass.
equipped with glass doors
should be operated only with
doors fully opened or doors fully
closed. Doors, if left partly open,
Cleaning the Glass
Clean the glass with any commercial glass cleaner
or soap and water. Do not use any abrasive mate-
rial to clean the glass. Do not clean the glass with
any cool water is the glass is still hot from the
re and smoke.
