IMPORTANT:
The glass must be allowed to warm slowly
and evenly. The tempered glass will withstand a gradual
temperature rise to 550 degrees Fahrenheit, which is more
than a normal fire 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 fire
and should not be burned in this fireplace. Always keep the
fire well back from the doors and never allow flames to
contact the glass.
CLEANING THE 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 if the glass is still hot
from the fire and smoke.
OPTIONAL GAS LINE INSTALLATION
Gas line hook up should be done by your supplier or a
qualified service person.
NOTE:
Before you proceed, make sure your gas supply is
turned off.
A gas line may be installed for the purpose of installing a
vented or vent-free gas appliance available through your local
distributor. Use only a ½ inch black iron pipe and appropriate
fittings. When installing a gas line, a shut-off valve designed
for installation outside the appliance is recommended.
STEP 1: To install, remove the knockout indentation on the
refractory, (or firebrick), wall located above the refractory
hearth floor. The knockout indentation must be firmly tapped
with any solid object until it is released. Remove fragmented
portions of refractory (see figure 23).
STEP 2: Remove gas line cover plate on either side of
fireplace (see figure 22) and pull out insulation (if any) from
gas line conduit sleeve. Save insulation for reuse.
STEP 3: Run a ½ inch black iron gas line into the fireplace
through the rear at gas line conduit sleeve (if using a raised
platform, add height). Provide sufficient gas line into
fireplace chamber for fitting connection (see figure 24).
NOTE: Secure incoming gas line to wood framing to provide
rigidity for threaded end.

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 flame out of the fireplace opening creating
risks of both fire and smoke.
