Glass Panel or Gasket Replacement
1. Use the 4 mm hex key to remove the four socket screws that
attach the Glass Frame to the firebox.
Remove the lower screws first and be sure to adequately support
the frame against the firebox while you remove the upper screws.
2. Lay the assembly upside down on a flat surface, protecting the
frame from scratches using a blanket or towel.
3. The glass panel is held in place by four retainer tabs. Use a
screwdriver to carefully pry these up off the edge of the glass
retaining walls. If the tabs break off, use the Tinnerman clips
supplied with the replacement glass kit to secure the glass panel
within the frame.
4. Remove the old gasket material.
5. Beginning at the midpoint of the upper edge, apply the new
gasket around the glass panel, with the adhesive side inside and
the thicker portion on the outside. DO NOT STRETCH THE
GASKET MATERIAL. Trim off any excess, leaving a 1/2” overlap
as shown in fig. 58.
6. Lay the glass panel within the glass frame and press the tabs back
down or press the clips in place as shown in fig. 9.2.
