6. Care and Cleaning of Glass
Your fireplace is equipped with ceramic super heat-
resistant glass, which can only be broken by impact or
misuse. Do not slam doors or impact the glass. When
closing doors, make sure that logs do not protrude
against the glass. Clean glass with a nonabrasive
glass cleaner, such as Windex. Abrasive cleaners
may scratch and cause glass to crack. Inspect glass
regularly. If you find a crack or break, immediately
put the fire out and return the door to your dealer for
replacement of glass before further use.
IMPORTANT!
REMOVE ALL LABELS FROM GLASS BEFORE
LIGHTING THE FIRST FIRE IN YOUR FIREPLACE.
IMPORTANT!
Replace with 5mm ceramic glass only
7. Glass Replacement
1. Ensure that the fire is out and the appliance is
cool to the touch.
2. Protect a table or counter top with padding or
towels.
3. Remove door with broken glass from the appliance
by lifting door up and off of the hinges.
4. Lay door face down on a table or counter making
sure handle and handle attachment knob hang
over the edge of the table top so door lays flat,
on a soft surface.
5. Remove the screws from each glass tab (5 on
each door) using a #2 Phillips Head screwdriver.
HINT
: Soak screws in penetrating oil for easy
removal.
6. Remove the glass.
7. Use only 5mm ceramic Glass, Part GLA-480.
8. Position the glass with edges evenly overlapping
the opening in the front door.
9. Replace the glass tabs. Be careful not to cross
thread the screws.
10. Tighten each tab just a few turns until each is
secured. Then continue to tighten each tab
alternately, a few turns at a time, until the glass
panel is tightened snugly but not overtightened.
11. Replace the door on the appliance.
12. After the first burn, recheck the tighness of the
screws.
5. Overfiring:
Do not overfire.
Using flammable liquids or too much
wood, burning trash in the stove, or allowing too much
air into the fireplace, may result in overfiring. If the
fireplace glows red or even worse, white, the fireplace
is overfired. This condition may ignite creosote in the
chimney, which can be dangerous, possibly causing a
house fire. If you overfire, immediately close the air
controls and door, if open, to reduce the air supply to the
fire.
Overfiring will void the fireplace warranty.
