Clean glass with any commercial glass
cleaner or soap and water. Do not use any
abrasive material to clean glass. Do not clean
glass with any cool water if glass is still hot

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

Bi-fold glass doors are optional with this
replace. Check with your local distributor
for availability.
To install glass doors, refer to installation
instructions that are included with kit. When
replace is in operation, doors must be fully
open or fully closed position only or a re haz-
ard may be created (see Figure 31).
A replace equipped with glass doors oper-
ates much 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 combustion air gate is not
completely open.
The following tips should be followed to as-
sure that both the replace and glass door
retain their beauty and function properly.
Both the ue damper and glass doors must
be fully opened before starting re. This
will provide sufcient combustion air and
maintain safe temperatures in rebox.
The glass must be allowed to warm slowly
and evenly. The tempered glass will with-
stand a gradual temperature rise to 550° F,
which is more than a normal re will gener-
ate. Such materials as pitch/wax laden logs,
very dry mill end lumber and large amounts
of paper or cardboard boxes. Always keep
the re well back from the doors and never
allow ames to contact the glass.
