MANTEILS
A mantel may be installed if desired (see figure l 7),
Woodwork such as wood trims, manteis, or any other
combustible material projecting f
r
om the f
r
ont face must not
be placed within 9 inches of the fireplace.
Combustible materials above 9 inches and projecting more
than 1-1 /2 inches f
r
om the fireplace must not be placed less
than 12 inches from the top opening of the fireplace (NFP A
STD 211, Sec. 7-3.3.3).

GLASS
DOORS
Glass doors are optional with the fi
r
eplace. When the
fi
r
eplace is in operation, doors must in FULLY OPENED or
FULLY CLOSED position only or a fi
r
e hazard may be
created (see figure 18).
A fi
r
eplace equipped with glass doors operates much
differently than a fireplace with an open front. A fireplace
with glass doors has a limited amount of air for combustion.
Excessive heat within the fireplace can result if too large a fire
is built or if the combustion air gate is not completely open.
The following tips should be followed to assure that both the
fireplace and the glass door retain their beauty and function
properly. Both the flue damper and the glass doors must be
fully. opened before starting the fi
r
e. This will provide
sufffcient combustion air and maintain safe temperatures iil--
the firebox.

. GLASS DOORS
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 pi_tch/w x
laden logs, very dry mill end lumber, and large amouHts o f __
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.
J;.
\VARNING:
Fireplaces equipped with glass doors
should be operated only with doors fully opened or do.ors
fully closed. Doors, if left partly open, inay draw gas and
flame out of the fireplace opening creating risks of both
fire and smoke.
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
f
r
om the fire and smoke.
