IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed to
warm slowly and evenly. 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.
WARNING: Fireplaces
equipped with glass doors
should be operated only with
doors fully opened or doors fully
closed. Doors, if left partly open,
may draw gas and flame out of
the fireplace opening creating
risks of both fire and smoke.
Cleaning Glass
Clean glass with any commercial glass
cleaner or soap and water. Do not use any
abrasive material to clean glass. Do not clean
glass with any cool water if glass is still hot
from the fire and smoke.
A gas line or gas log lighter may be installed
for the purpose of installing a vented or vent-
free decorative gas appliance incorporating an
automatic shutoff device and complying with
the Standard for Decorative Gas Appliances for
Installation in Vented Fireplaces, ANSI Z21.60
or American Gas Association draft requirements
for Gas Fired Log Lighters for Wood Burning
Fireplaces, Draft NO. 4 dated August, 1993.
If you wish to install an unvented (vent-free)
gas log set, only unvented gas log sets which
have been found to comply with the standard
for unvented room heaters, ANSI Z21.11.2 are
to be installed in this fireplace.
