Removing the Glass Front
If the fireplace has an arch face, remove the face
as described on page 11.
If the fireplace has a Victorian face, open the
bottom and top doors.
Lift the latches shown above and tilt the glass
out at the top and lift it out of the groove at the bot-
tom. Handle the glass with care.
Replacing the Gasket
The Serenity uses part no. 3-44-00539 fiber-
glass gasket in the front door. Should it ever need
replacement, use only the proper replacement gas-
ket that is available from your Harman dealer. To
replace the gasket, follow this procedure.
1. Lay glass front face down.
2. Bend four tab up far enough to remove the
glass.
3. Remove old gasket.
4. Install new gasket around glass.
5. Place glass back in frame.
6. Bend tabs to secure glass. Not too tight.
7. Reinstall glass door by placing the flange on the
bottom of the door into the groove on the
bottom of the fireplace opening. Next lift the
latches and push the door against the unit. Pull
the spring loaded latches front until the tabs
drops into the slots on the door frame
Cleaning the Glass
The glass may be cleaned with ordinary house-
hold glass cleaner and a soft cloth or paper towel.
WARNING: Never clean the glass when it is
hot. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the glass.
Inspecting the Venting
An inspection of both the inner and outer pipes
of the venting system should be made during the
annual service appointment. They must have no
b lo ckage an d be in go od rep air. The ven t
manufacturer's instructions may provide specific
suggestions or details on vent inspection. Any sec-
tions that are taken apart for the inspection must be
reassembled and sealed as required.
Cleaning the Log Set and Firebox
During the annual inspection and maintenance
appointment, the service person should clean dust,
lint, and any light accumulation from the logs and
the firebox area. An extra-soft brush should be used
on the logs as they are extremely fragile; a vacuum
cleaner may be used on the firebox. If at any time
the logs cannot be removed or installed without forc-
ing, the cause must be found. The logs must never
be forced.
A qualified service person recommended by
your Harman dealer should conduct an annual in-
spection and maintenance of your fireplace, its vent-
ing, and the installation to keep it running safely and
efficiently. The following procedures should be per-
formed only by a qualified service person. The gas
supply should be turned off whenever a maintenance
procedure is performed.
If the glass front, side doors, or front access
door are removed for servicing, they must be re-
placed prior to operating the fireplace.
