Section 8: Removing & Installing Screen and Window
Removing the Screen:
Follow the steps below to remove, or install the
R320* / R420*
fireplace screen and door.
Step 1: Prepare to Lift out Screen Assembly
Grip either end of the screen assembly and pull towards yourself.
The screen assembly is held to the unit by both friction and magnets.
Step 2: Lift out Window from Grooves
The window is removed by first lifting upward on the glass and then
by pulling the bottom out from the groove in which it was located
(see
image below)
.
Removing the Window:
Follow the steps to remove, or install the
R320*/R420*
fireplace
window.
Reinstalling the door:
Follow the four previous steps to re-install the R-Series
fireplace
window.
Before beginning any screen or glass removal, make sure that the unit
has not been in operation and that it is at room temperature.
Step 2: Lift out the Retaining Tabs and Screen.
The Retaining Tabs are quite long and in most cases, this task would
be better performed by two people.
Once the Retaining Tabs have come away from the Fireplace, lift the
screen away and store in a safe place. The Screen is very fragile and
can be easily torn, dented or deformed.

Step 1: Use Glass Lifting Tools to Remove Window
Use the Glass Lifting Tools that are included with your fireplace
(see image bove). Attach one to each end of the window pane.
Make certain that they are firmly attached and secure.
Figure 21b.
Window Removal (using glass lifting tools).
Once the bottom of the window is clear of the fireplace, lower the
window down from the upper groove in which it was located.
Lift the window clear of the fireplace and store it in a safe place.
Note:
Never re-use the window if it has been broken, scratched or
damaged in any way. The window is made of tempered glass, and
although tempered glass is very durable - nicks, scratches or chips
can seriously impact the window's strength.
