To remove the door, simply pull the door up from the hinges (see
Figure

. The door adjustment has been set at the factory. If the fit is still not
perfect, you can adjust the door using the hinge screws.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT
The door may need to be adjusted to be completely airtight. The gaskets’
air-tightness can be adjusted using two adjustment screws located on the
right side of the fireplace facade (An Allen key #1/8 – not supplied - will
be necessary for this adjustment).
WARNING
•
Use only a IHP glass door, specifically designed
for the fireplace.
•
The fireplace cannot be operated without door.
Consult your dealer to select the correct replace-
ment door.
•
Important! To assure proper alignment of glass
door: Install this fireplace in a square and plumb
condition, using shims as necessary at sides
and/or bottom.
Checking Door Seal
A one-inch strip of paper may be used to perform a test of the integrity
of the door seal. Close the door on the paper in at least eight points. It
is normal to feel only a slight amount of friction. The door gasket does
not need to be “tight” in all areas, since a small amount of leakage is not
hazardous or detrimental to the performance of your fireplace.
GLASS CARE
Glass Replacement
The glass used for the fireplace is a high temperature ceramic glass (1,400°
F / 760° C). If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with an identical ce-
ramic glass. Tempered glass or ordinary glass will not withstand the high
temperatures of the fireplace. Replacement glass should be purchased
from a IHP dealer (see “Replacement Parts”,
Page 28)
.
DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS.
Glass Cleaning
The fireplace is designed to keep the glass clean under normal operating
conditions. If the fireplace is operated continuously with the combus-
tion air controls closed, the glass will tend to get dirty unless the fuel,
firebox and glass are maintained at hot temperatures (see “Refueling For
Best Performance”). To clean the glass, there are a number of specially
designed cleaners. Your IHP dealer can recommend a suitable cleaner
which is available in your area. Regular household glass cleaners will not
clean creosote.
Do not use abrasives such as steel pads, steel wool or
oven cleaner as they will scratch the glass.
DO NOT USE CHEMICAL GLASS CLEANERS ON PAINTED SURFACES
AS IT MAY CAUSE THE PAINT TO PEEL.
CAUTION : DO NOT ALLOW WINDOW CLEANER TO GET IN CONTACT
WITH DOOR GASKET OR PAINT ON FACADE OR DOOR. ONCE CLOSED,
CONTACT OF GLASS CLEANER WITH THE FIREPLACE FACADE CAN
PROVOKE PAINT PEELING OFF.
Gasket Replacement
Remove the door from the unit (see
Page 12)
and lay it on a clean un-
abrasive surface. To replace the gasket, first remove all of the old gasket
and gasket cement. Make sure that the surface is totally clean before
applying new cement (a high temperature silicone caulking rated at 500°
F [260° C], is suitable) or adhesion problems may result. Apply gasket
cement to the gasket channel and install the new gasket. This replace-
ment part is available from your IHP dealer in the following dimensions:
