Remove doors and slightly loosen lower pivot clips and upper spring
clips. Replace doors and fully close them. Use 1/8" shims (any mate
-
rial) to level doors. Once proper setting is achieved, carefully open
doors enough so that you can access spring clips with a phillips
screwdriver. Tighten screws. See Figure 32.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with the fireplace. When fireplace is in opera
-
tion, doors must be fully opened or fully closed position only or a fire
hazard may be created (see Figure 33).
A fireplace 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 combustion air gate is not completely open. The following tips should
be followed to assure that both the fireplace and glass door retain their
beauty and function properly. Both the flue damper and glass doors
must be fully opened before starting fire. This will provide sufficient
combustion air and maintain safe temperatures in firebox.
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 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.

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.
Cleaning Glass
Clean glass with any commercial glass cleaner or soap and water. Do
not use any abrasive material to clean glass. Do not clean glass with any
cool water if glass is still hot from the fire and smoke.
OUTSIDE AIR AND DAMPER HANDLE OPERATION
The damper handle, which opens and closes the damper blade, is
located in the upper front face of the fireplace. Pushing the handle
forward and up through the keyway slot will free damper blade to
automatically open. Pushing the handle forward and down will lock
damper blade closed (see Figure 34). Damper must be locked in the
full open position before operating fireplace (see Figure 34).
