OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

Figure 21 - Glass Doors

GLASS DOORS

Glass doors are optional with the fireplace. When the fireplace is in 

operation, doors must be fully opened or fully closed position only 

or a fire hazard may be created (see Figure 21).
A fireplace equipped with glass doors operates mush differently 

than a fireplace with an open front. A fireplace with glass doors has 

a limited amount of air for combustion. Excessive heat within the 

fireplace can result if too large a fire is built or if the combustion air 

gate is not completely open. 
The following tips should be followed to assure that both the fireplace 

and the glass door retain their beauty and function properly. Both the 

flue damper and the glass doors must be fully opened before starting 

the fire. This will provide sufficient combustion air and maintain safe 

temperatures in the firebox.

IMPORTANT: 

The glass must be allowed to warm slowly and evenly. 

The tempered glass will withstand a gradual temperature rise to 550° 

F, which is more than a normal fire will generate. Such materials as 

pitch/wax laden logs, very dry mill end lumber and large amounts 

of paper or cardboard boxes can create an excessively hot fire and 

should not be burned in this fireplace. Always keep the fire well back 

from the doors and never allow flames to contact the glass.

 WARNING: FIREPLACES EQUIPPED WITH GLASS 

DOORS SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY WITH DOORS 

FULLY OPENED OR DOORS FULLY CLOSED. DOORS, 

IF LEFT PARTLY OPEN, MAY DRAW GAS AND FLAME 

OUT OF THE FIREPLACE OPENING CREATING RISKS 

OF BOTH FIRE AND SMOKE.

WARNING: Discontinue use of the appliance imme-

diately if doors are damaged and contact a qualified 

installer for repair. Only doors certified with the ap-

pliance shall be used.

 WARNING: Do not slam or strike doors. Damage 

can result in a hazardous condition.

Cleaning Glass

Clean the glass with any commercial glass cleaner or soap and 

water. Do not use any abrasive material to clean the glass. Do not 

clean the glass with any cool water is the glass is still hot from the 

fire and smoke.

 WARNING: Risk of fire! Replace grate with IHP 

cat. no. J4513 only. This grate has been designed to 

keep the operation of your fireplace safe and efficient.

OUTSIDE AIR AND DAMPER HANDLE OPERATION

The damper handle, which opens and closes the damper blade, is 

located in the upper front face of the fireplace. Pushing the handle into 

the left of the keyway slot will free the damper blade to automatically 

open. Pushing the handle in to the right will lock the damper blade 

closed (see Figure 22).
The outside air kit handle is located at the left hand side of the fireplace 

(see Figure 22). Pulling the handle out will free the outside air door 

to open. Pushing the handle in will lock the door closed.
