Figure 5 - Installing and Removing
the Glass Door
Installing the Glass Enclosure Panel
1.
Retrieve the glass enclosure panel. Visually
inspect the gasket on the back side of the
frame. Gasket surface must be clean, free of
irregularities and seated firmly.
2.
Position the door in front of the firebox
opening with the bottom of the door held
away from the fireplace at a 45° angle (
Figure
5
)
. Hook the top flange of the door frame
over the top of the firebox frame.
3.
Let the bottom of the door frame swing
gently in towards the fireplace ensuring that
the gasket seats evenly as the door frame
draws shut. Fasten the two latches located
underneath the firebox floor to the door's
vee-flange. Close both the latches securely.
4.
Reinstall the control compartment door
(
Page 8
).
5.
If the hood was uninstalled, reinstall the
required hood. Note the location of the
three clips inside the top air channel above
the door. The clips are equally spaced on
the top surface of the air channel opening.
Use a screwdriver to open the clips slightly
if needed. Engage the back edge of the hood
into the clips to secure.
