OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
Glass doors are optional with the 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 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 assure 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 sufcient com-
bustion air and maintain safe temperatures
in 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.

should be operated only with
doors fully opened or doors fully
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.

for the purpose of installing a vented or vent-
free decorative gas appliance incorporating an

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
