FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

INSTALLING OPTIONAL GLASS DOOR ACCESSORY
CAUTION: Use only glass doors certified for use
with this appliance.
NOTE: Assistance with installation may be needed as glass doors
are heavy.
These B-vent fireplaces are approved for use with optional bi-fold glass
doors (see Accessories, Page 23). The glass panels may be ordered
and installed anytime after the fireplace installation is complete.
Follow these steps to install left and right panels:
1. With handle at the bottom, completely fold panel on its hinges.
2. With handle facing center of firebox opening, insert lower pivot pin on
glass door panel into hole in pivot plate on bottom edge of fireplace
opening (see Figure 30).
3. Keeping folded door tilted, slide upper two pins into the guide
track found under upper facial edge of firebox opening.
4. Tilt door assembly fully vertical until outer pivot pin snaps into
mounting hole in upper spring clip (see Figure 30).
5. Once top and bottom pins are secured, unfold door into closed
position.
6. Repeat process for opposite door assembly.
APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE
Before finishing enclosure around appliance, inspect all joints around
outer surround. Any gaps between nailing flanges and framing should
be sealed with noncombustible insulation or caulking (see Figure 29).
If appliance is mounted on a raised platform, it must be a continuous
surface and not on blocks without a solid surface. This will prevent
the entry of cold air by means of conduction through the total bot-
tom of the appliance.
7. To adjust doors, slide them partially open. Using a screwdriver,
loosen the hold-down screws in spring clip (see Figure 31, Page
17) and pivot plate.
8. Close both doors until evenly joined at the middle and note gap
at outer edges of face.
9. Reopen one door at a time and retighten upper and lower hold-
down screws.
10. Repeat process until both doors are evenly joined, spaced and
working freely.
