Glass
Assembly
A. Glass Replacement
1. Ensure that the fi re is out and the appliance is cool to the
touch.
2. Protect a table or counter top with padding or towels.
Protect your hands and wear gloves to prevent injury.
3. Remove the door with the broken glass by lifting the door
up and off of the hinges.
4. Lay door face down on a table or counter making sure the
handle hangs over the edge so the door lays fl at, on a soft
surface.
5. Remove the screws from each glass retainer and remove
the glass. (If screws are diffi cult to remove, soak with
penetrating oil fi rst).
6. Center the glass with edges evenly overlapping the open-
ing in the door, (i.e. same space top and bottom, left and
right sides).
7. Replace the glass retainers. Be careful not to cross thread
the screws.
8. Tighten each retainer just a few turns until each is
secured. Check again for centering of glass in door
frame. Continue to tighten each retainer alternately, a
few turns at a time, until the glass is secure. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
9. Replace the door on the appliance.
Quadra-Fire appliances are equipped with ceramic super
heat-resistant glass, which can only be broken by impact
or misuse. Do not slam appliance door or impact the glass.
When closing door, make sure that logs do not protrude
against the glass. Inspect glass regularly. If you fi nd a crack
or break, immediately put the fi re out and return the door to
your dealer for replacement of glass before further use.
CAUTION
