Figure 28- Glass Doors
GLASS DOORS
Bi-fold glass doors are optional with this fireplace. Check with your
local distributor for availability.
To install glass doors, refer to installation instructions that are in-
cluded with kit. When fireplace is in operation, doors must be fully
open or fully closed position only or a fire hazard may be created
(see Figure 28).
A fireplace equipped with glass doors operates much differently
than a fireplace with an open front. A fireplace with glass doors has
a limited amount of air for combustion. Excessive heat within the
fireplace can result if too large a fire is built or if combustion air gate
is not completely open.
IMPORTANT: The following tips should be used to assure that both
fireplace and glass door retain their beauty and function properly.
• Both the flue damper and glass doors must be fully opened
before starting a fire. This will provide sufficient combustion
air and maintain safe temperatures in firebox.
• The glass must be allowed to warm slowly and evenly. The tem-
pered glass will withstand a gradual temperature rise to 550° F,
which is more than a normal fire will generate. Such materials
as pitch/wax laden logs, very dry mill end lumber and large
amounts of paper or cardboard boxes. Always keep the fire well
back from the doors and never allow flames to contact the glass.
" WARNING: FIREPLACES EQUIPPED WITH DOORS
SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY WITH DOORS FULLY
OPEN OR DOORS FULLY CLOSED. IF DOORS ARE LEFT
PARTLY OPEN, GAS AND FLAME MAY BE DRAWN OUT
OF THE FIREPLACE OPENING, CREATING RISKS OF
BOTH FIRE AND SMOKE".
