GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with 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 26).
A fireplace equipped with glass doors oper-
ates 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 func-
tion properly. 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.

Installing Glass Doors
After spring clips have been installed some
adjustments may be needed. Install the doors
using the following steps:
1. With bi-fold doors completely folded, insert
bottom pivot pin into bottom retaining clip
located at far left and far right side of bot-
tom rail. Swing door to vertical position
making sure top pins slide into top door rail.
Door is installed when top door pin snaps
into spring clip (see Figure 24).
2. Repeat step 1 for remaining door.
If you find the doors do not close properly or
do not appear level or straight, proceed with
section on door adjustment.
DOOR ADjUSTMENT
Remove doors and slightly loosen upper spring
clips. Replace and fully close doors. Use 1/8"
shims (any material) to level doors. Once proper
setting is achieved, carefully open doors enough
to access top retaining clips with a phillips
screwdriver. Tighten screws. See Figure 25.
