OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with the fireplace.
When fireplace is in operation, doors must be
fully opened or fully closed position only or a
fire hazard may be created (see Figure 30,
page 17).
A fireplace equipped with glass doors operates
much differently than a fireplace with an open
front. A fireplace with glass doors has a limited
amount of air for combustion.

6. Align bottom rail mounting holes with
holes at front of firebox and secure with
screws removed in step 5.
7. Place ash box in place. Replace center
ash refractory.
DOOR ADJUSTMENT
Remove doors and slightly loosen lower pivot
clips and upper spring clips. Replace doors
and fully close them. Use 1/8" shims (any
material) to level doors. Once proper setting
is achieved, carefully open doors enough so
that you can access spring clips with a Phillips
screwdriver. Tighten screws. See Figure 29.

Excessive heat within the fireplace can result if
too large a fire is built or if combustion air gate
is not completely open. The following tips should
be followed to assure that both the fireplace
and glass door retain their beauty and function
properly. Both the flue damper and glass doors
must be fully opened before starting fire. This will
provide sufficient combustion air and maintain
safe temperatures in firebox.
