OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with replace. When
replace is in operation, doors must be fully
opened or fully closed position only or a re
hazard may be created (see Figure 33).
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 assure that both the replace
and glass door retain their beauty and func-
tion properly. Both the ue damper and glass
doors must be fully opened before starting re.
This will provide sufcient combustion air and
maintain safe temperatures in rebox.

IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed to
warm slowly and evenly. 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.
WARNING: Fireplaces
equipped with glass doors
should be operated only with
doors fully opened or doors fully
closed. Doors, if left partly open,
may draw gas and ame out of
the replace opening creating
risks of both re and smoke.
Cleaning Glass
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
from the re and smoke.
A gas line or gas log lighter may be installed
for the purpose of installing a vented or vent-
free decorative gas appliance incorporating an
automatic shutoff device and complying with
the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances for
Installation in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI Z21.60
or American Gas Association draft requirements
for Gas Fired Log Lighters for Wood Burning
Fireplaces, Draft NO. 4 dated August, 1993.
DOOR ADJUSTMENT
Remove doors and slightly loosen upper spring
clips. Replace and fully close doors. Use 1/8"
shims (any material) to level doors. Once proper
setting is achieved, carefully open doors enough
to access top retaining clips with a phillips
screwdriver. Tighten screws. See Figure 32.
