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 Phillips
screwdriver. Tighten screws. See Figure 23.

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 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 function
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.
IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed to
warm slowly and evenly. The tempered 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 can
create an excessively hot fire and should not
be burned in this fireplace. Always keep the
fire well back from the doors and never allow
flames to contact the glass.
