GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with the fireplace. When
fireplace is in operation, doors must be fully
opened or fully closed position only or a fire hazard
may be created (see Figure 24).
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. The following tips should
be followed to assure that both the fireplace and
glass door retain their beauty and function prop-
erly. Both the flue damper and glass doors must
be fully opened before starting fire. This will
provide sufficient combustion air and maintain
safe temperatures in firebox.
DOOR ADjUSTMENT
Remove doors and slightly loosen lower pivot clips
and upper spring clips. Replace doors and fully close
them. Use 1/8" shims (any material) to level doors.
Once proper setting is achieved, carefully open doors
enough so that you can access spring clips with a phil-
lips screwdriver. Tighten screws. See Figure 23.
