WARNING: Do not operate appliance with the glass
front removed, cracked or broken.
• The use of substitute glass will void all product war-
ranties.
• Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass.

or with a broken glass front.
• Replacement of the glass should be done by a
licensed or qualified service person.

Glass Door Removal Procedure
1. Remove upper and lower louvre assemblies and set
aside. Refer to louvre installation instructions.
2. Using gloves, carefully unlatch the latches (3) along
the bottom edge of the glass door. Then as the top
latches are unlatched, continue to place gentle pres-
sure to the glass door to reduce the chances of the
door being dropped accidentally.
3. Once all latches have been secured, pull the door
(4) outward from the face of the fire chamber.
4. Take care during handling and cleaning of the glass
door so that it is not dropped or accidentally broken.
5. Cleaning of the glass should only be done when the
glass door is cool. Refer to Glass Cleaning section.
6. To reinstall glass door, carefully center the door
onto the face of the fireplace (left to right), sec-
ond, shift the door assembly upwards slightly, then
secure door with the throw-over latches above and
below the firechamber. By shifting the door upwards
before latching, the upper door latches will be less
visible once the upper louvre is installed.
7. Reinstall the upper and lower louvre assemblies.
Refer to louvre installation.
Glass Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. Dur-
ing start-up, condensation - which is normal - forms on
the inside of the glass and causes dust, lint, etc. to cling
to the glass surface. Also, initial paint curing can de-
posit a slight film on the glass. In some geographic ar-
eas, a white film may be deposited on the glass due to
combustion of some of the constituents of natural gas.
It is therefore recommended that initially the glass be
cleaned two or three times with non-abrasive common
household cleansers and warm water. After that, the
glass should be cleaned two or three times a season
depending on the amount that the fireplace is used.
To remove, simply unlatch the top and bottom door
latches and carefully pull door forward. Use of gloves
recommended.
Do not clean when the glass is hot.
Do not strike or abuse glass.
Do not place glass door on edge after
removal.
