from the rods. Note that there are
two washers underneath the top nuts
on the bottom louvers. These
washers are placed to provide space
for the air control lever. Make sure
they go back when you reassemble
the louvers.
3. Assemble the new louvers the
same way the old ones came apart,
reusing the original rods and
spacers. Leave about 1/4" of the rod
protruding above the top nut. Make
sure you replace the washers under
the top nuts of the bottom louvers.
4. Put the reassembled louvers back
into the fireplace by inserting the rods
into the lower holes, and rotating the
louvers into place.
NOTE: Although the gold plating will
not tarnish, care must be taken not
to scratch the surface.
