GLASS REPLACEMENT
(a) Open the firedoor fully.
(b) Remove the screws and the four segments of
the window frame and carefully remove the bro-
ken glass.
(c) Clean the glass recess in the door.
(d) Attach adhesive thermal tape to the perimeter of
the replacement glass.
(e) Place the thermal tape side of the glass into
the door recess and replace the four segments
of the window frame.
(f) Tighten screws.
(g) Replace glass only with ceramic glass 5mm

GLASS CLEANING
The glass will self clean when there is sufficient heat
generated by the burning fuel. If a build-up of cre-
osote occurs on the glass it may be due to draft con-
ditions, poor quality fuel or very low burning for a
long time. It is best to clean the glass when it is
thoroughly cooled.
