These are direct-vent appliances. They are
designed to operate only when the front glass
enclosure panels are installed. Generally the
front glass enclosure panel should not be re-
moved except to gain access to the components
within the firebox.
Removing the Glass Enclosure Panel
Remove the top radiant panel assembly.
To access the two glass door securing latches,
first open the lower control compartment door
(
Figure 8
) by pushing in the right top corner
of the door (the door is hinged at the bottom).
[Optional] Remove the bottom compartment
door by sliding the hinge pin, located at the
door’s left side, to the right until it disengages
from the left corner post hole. Pull the door
diagonally to the left, away from the fireplace.
Locate the two spring latches at the top of the
control compartment and disengage them from
the door frame bottom vee-flange by pulling the
latches forward and down to release them from
the door channel.
Pull the bottom of the door out a few inches
and grasp it on the right and left. Gently lift to
release the door from its channel above the
door. Pull the door forward.
Installing the Glass Enclosure Panel
Retrieve the glass door. Visually inspect the
gasket on the backside of the frame. Gasket
surface must be clean, free of irregularities
and seated firmly.
Position the door in front of the firebox opening
with the bottom of the door held away from the
fireplace
(Figure 8)
. Hook the top flange of the
door frame over the top of the firebox frame.
Let the bottom of the door frame swing gently
in towards the fireplace ensuring that the gasket
seats evenly as the door frame draws shut.
Fasten the two latches located underneath the
firebox floor to the door's vee-flange. Close
both the latches securely.
