Adjust door alignment by loosening the phillips head screws which secure the door hinges to the door. Adjusting one hinge while leaving the other tight will serve to rotate the inner edge up or down. Adjusting both hinges at the same time allows the door to adjust side-to-side.

Installing Line for Gas Logs

CFM Corporation fireplaces are designed to accept a 1/2” (13mm) gas line for installation of an approved gas appliance. (CFM Corporation manufactures a wide va- riety of gas logs for use in CFM Corporation fireplaces.)

Be sure to have the appliance installed in accordance with building codes.

Gas connection may enter from either left or right side of the fireplace.

Locate appropriate gas line in the outer casing of fire- place and remove insulation from gas line tube. (Fig. 29)

From inside the fireplace, locate the knockout on the firebrick -- be sure you are on the appropriate or “gas line” side of the fireplace. Using a flat bladed screw- driver or small chisel and hammer, carefully tap around the knockout until it loosens and falls out.
