Glass Installation

Wear eye protection during the assembly of
this unit.  Check all glass and parts for dam-
age.  Replace any damaged parts prior to
continuing the installation.  Do not assemble
this  unit  with  any  damaged  parts.    If  you
should happen to break a glass panel, it must
only be replaced with ceramic glass.

1. The door panel has had the latch assembly

and hinges installed at the factory.  Remove
the hinges leaving the glued on plate in posi-
tion.

2. Place the lower hinge in the hole in the firebowl,

with the washer under it.

3. Insert the upper hinge into the hole at the top

of the door opening.  Holding the upper hinge
in place, slide the glass door panel into the
hinges.

4. Hold the door panel in the closed position to

allow access to the hinge screws.

5. Maintaining a 1/8" clearance to the left door

post, tighten the screws in the hinges snugly.

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN

.  Re-adjust as

necessary for proper alignment.

6. Note that two panels have gasket material on

one edge. These pieces go on either side of
the door. Make certain that these two pieces
are  placed  completly  into  the  channel  on
either side of the door. Failure to do this will
make the rest of the glass installation impos-
sible.

7. First loosen the glass retainers.  This is a

metal  strip  secured  by  one  screw  in  the
middle.  Start with the left door panel.  The
gasket must be on the right side of the panel.

8. Slide the gasketed edge completely into the

channel on the side of the door. The left edge of
the glass should now fit into the button at the
bottom of the glass.

9. Lower the glass into the lower glass button

channel.

10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 with the right door panel.

The gasket will be on the left side of the panel
with the  not polished edge at the top.

11. The remaining panels can now be installed.

The edge that is not polished is placed at the
top.    As  each  panel  is  installed  replace  the
glass retainer in place but do not tighten.

12. After all the glass panels are installed center the

panels to reduce any gaps that may be be-
tween the glass panels.

13. Tighten the glass retainers.
