3.3.10 Glass Care - Replacement
The glass used for the LE LAVAL fireplace is a high temperature ceramic glass (1400°F). If the
glass breaks or cracks, it must be replaced with an identical ceramic glass. Tempered glass or
ordinary glass will not withstand the high temperatures of the LE LAVAL fireplace.
Replacement glass should be purchased from a Security Chimneys International dealer (see
“Replacement Parts”, Section 5).
Do not operate the unit with cracked or broken glass.
3.3.11 Glass Care - Cleaning
The LE LAVAL fireplace is designed to keep the glass clean under normal operating conditions.
If the LE LAVAL fireplace is operated continuously with the combustion air controls closed, the
glass will tend to get dirty unless the fuel, firebox and glass are maintained at hot temperatures
(see section 3.2.10). To clean the glass, there are a number of specially designed cleaners to
remove creosote. Your authorized Security dealer can recommend a suitable cleaner. Regular
household glass cleaners will not clean creosote. Do not use abrasives such as steel pads, steel
wool or oven cleaner as they will scratch the glass.
DO NOT USE CHEMICAL GLASS CLEANERS ON PAINTED SURFACES AS IT MAY
CAUSE THE PAINT TO PEEL.
CAUTION : Do not allow window cleaner to get in contact with the door gasket or paint on
facade or door. Once closed, contact of the glass cleaner with the fireplace facade can provoke
paint peeling off.
3.3.12 Gasket Replacement
Remove the doors from the unit (see section 3.3.7) and lay them on a clean nonabrasive surface.
To replace the gasket, first remove all of the old gasket and gasket cement. Make sure that the
surface is totally clean before applying new cement (a high temperature silicone caulking rated at
500°F, 260°C, is suitable) or adhesion problems may result. Apply gasket cement to the gasket
channel and install the new gasket. This replacement part is available from your Security dealer
in the following dimensions:
3.3.13 Andiron
Le Laval fireplace is equipped with andirons designed to keep logs from falling in the doors. It
must be replaced only by Security Chimneys International andirons available from your dealer.
No other andirons, log retainer or log support is sold or recommended by Security Chimneys
International.
