Installing the Front Glass Panel and Frame 
After burner media and relief doors been installed, the next step is to replace 
the front glass panel and frame.  
1.   Carefully pick up the glass and glass frame assembly by grasping the sides 

of the frame and using your thumbs and fingers to hold the glass in place 
within the gasket and frame. 

2.  With the glass frame (and glass) held at a slight angle (leaving room for 

your fingers between the frame and the firebox) insert the bottom edge of 
the frame into the frame retainer located on the bottom front of the firebox.  
Take care to center the frame from left to right.   

3.  Once the bottom edge is in place, move your fingers out of the way and 

press the top of the frame against the firebox while pushing down to be 
sure the frame is fully engaged in the frame retainer.   

4.  Hold the frame in place with one hand and insert the four glass frame fas-

teners along the top edge of the glass frame.  Tighten the fasteners until 
they are hand-tight. 

5.   Tighten each fastener 1/2 turn at a time, working from one side to the 

other, until the glass frame has made contact with the firebox face along 
the entire top edge.  Do not over-tighten the fasteners as this can put exces-
sive stress on the glass.
