The following tips should be followed to as-
sure 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 sufcient 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.
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 the glass with any commercial glass
cleaner or soap and water. Do not use any
abrasive material to clean the glass. Do not
clean the glass with any cool water is the 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

the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances
for Installation in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI
Z21.60 or American Gas Association draft

If you wish to install an unvented (vent-free)
gas log set, only unvented gas log sets which

to be installed in this replace.
