5.1.5
REPLACING THE GLASS
The glass used in the EVEREST is 5 mm thick of dimension 11.375" x 9.375" (28,8 cm x 23,8 cm)
and tested to reach temperatures up to 1400 °F. If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with one
having the same specification. Contact your Osburn dealer to obtain a genuine replacement.
WARNING
•
TEMPERED GLASS OR ORDINARY GLASS WILL NOT WITHSTAND THE HIGH
TEMPERATURES OF THE FIREPLACE.
•
DO NOT ABUSE THE GLASS DOOR BY SLAMMING IT AGAINST THE FIREPLACE.
•
DO NOT OPERATE THE FIREPLACE WITH A CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS.
To replace the glass, use the following procedure;
Remove the glass retaining screws (A) and clips (B) then the metal frames (C) that hold the glass
(D) to the door frame (E). Lift out the glass (D) and pull off the old gasket. Do the same for the
other door. This is a good time to clean the glass thoroughly.
5.1.6
REPLACING THE GLASS GASKET
The gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass. To do this easily, peel back a section of the
paper covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side up. Stick the
end of the gasket to the middle of one edge, then press the edge of the glass down onto the
gasket, taking care that it is perfectly centred on the gasket. Peel off more of the backing and
rotate the glass and press the next section onto the gasket. Do not stretch the gasket as you place
it. Continue until you get to the start and trim the gasket to length. Now pinch the gasket to the
glass in a U-shape, all around the glass. Reinstall the glass, being careful to centre the glass
carefully in the door. Do not over-tighten the screws. Note that the two main causes of broken
door glass are uneven placement in the door and over-tightening of retaining screws.
