Removal of the Glass Door

RB46
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-
up, condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the
glass and causes dust, lint etc. to cling to the glass surface.
Also, initial paint curing can deposit a slight film on the glass. It
is therefore recommended that initially the glass be cleaned two
or three times with non-abrasive common household glass
cleansers and warm water. After that, the glass should be
cleaned two or three times a season depending on the circum-
stances.
Warning and Cautions.
• Do not clean when the glass is hot.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Using a substitute glass will void all product
warranties.
• Do not strike or abuse glass. Care must be
taken to avoid breakage of the glass.
• Do not operate this fireplace without the glass
front or with a broken glass.
1. Remove the door by unlatching the 2 top latches. Simply
place 2 fingers in the grooves, pull towards you and lift
upwards slightly.
2. Once the top of the door is unlatched, simply pull outwards
and lift upwards to unlatch the bottom.
3. When re-installing the door place the bottom of the door in
first and secure with Top Latch assembly to the door.

*Over time, spring may need to be replaced if tension is lost.
1. To remove the top latch, remove the 2 hex screws that secure
it in place. They are located in the firebox.
2. Once all the screws are removed the latches will slide out of
place.
3. There is 1 lock nut per latch. When replacing a spring, tighten
the lock nut until 2 threads are beyond the locknut. This is crit-
ical for proper tension.

glass. Must be 5mm thick.
To replace glass, clean all materials from
door frame. Scrape off old silicone down to
metal. Using a high heat silicone tempera-
ture-resistant to 500°F (260°C) apply a con-
tinuous bead of approximately 1/4” to all four
sides of frame and insert glass with new
gasket. Frame should be on flat surface,
with a small amount of weight pressing glass
into silicone. Let dry approximately 15 to 20
minutes. The door can be re-installed by
reversing Steps 1 & 2. Use caution when
removing broken or damaged glass. Wear
gloves.
