Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal 
and Installation
WARNING
Do not operate appliance with the 
glass front removed, cracked or 
broken. Replacement of the glass 
should be done by a licensed or 
qualifi ed service technician.
WARNING
Do not attempt to substitute the 
materials used on this door, or 
replace cracked or broken glass 
with any materials other than 
those provided by the appliance 
manufacturer.
WARNING
The glass door of this appli-
ance must only be replaced as a 
complete unit as provided by the 
manufacturer. Do not attempt to 
replace broken, cracked or chipped 
glass separately.
WARNING
Do not attempt to touch the front 
enclosure glass with your hands 
while the fi replace is in use.
These are direct-vent appliances. They are 
designed to operate only when the front glass 
enclosure panel is installed. Generally the front 
glass enclosure panel should not be removed 
except to gain access to the components within 
the fi rebox, and the appliance may only be oper-
ated without the front glass enclosure panel 
in place for very brief periods of time during 
appliance checkout and adjustment. Note: The 
fl ame appearance will be diminished while the 
front glass enclosure panel is removed.
During this appliance checkout and adjust-
ment period, a potential safety hazard exists 
- EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION to prevent 
the occurrence of any burn injuries from the 
exposed fl ames or hot surfaces. Also note, that 
while the front glass enclosure panel (or any of 
the panels) is removed, the fl ame appearance 
will appear to be smaller than normal.

Removing Glass Enclosure Panels
(see Figure 4)
1. Remove the top louver assembly or radiant
panel by pulling it out and off.
2. Open the control compartment access panel.
by actuating the spring-loaded magnetic 
catches securing the panel (gently depress the 
outer top corners of the louvered or radiant 
panel until the catches "pop" the door free, 
allowing it to swing out and down to the open 
position).
3. Locate the two (2) latches at the top of the
control compartment. To disengage the two 
latches from the bottom vee-fl ange of the 
glass enclosure panel, reach for the handles 
located towards the back of the latches and 
pull the handles down toward the front of 
the appliance.
4. Swing the bottom of the door out and raise
it slightly to lift the top fl ange of the door 
frame away from the appliance.
Installing Glass Enclosure Panels
(see Figure 4 )
1. Visually inspect the gasket on the backside of
the panels. The gasket surface must be clean, 
free of irregularities and seated fi rmly.
2. Position the glass enclosure panel in front of
the fi rebox opening at a 45 degree angle and 
engage the top fl ange over the lip at the top 
of the fi rebox opening. See Figure 4.
3. Swing the glass enclosure panel down and
back. Ensure the gasket seats evenly as the 
panel draws shut. Engage the Vee-fl ange at 
the bottom of the panel with the latches and 
close the latches to secure the panel.
4. Close the bottom control compartment
access panel.
