Operation and Maintenance Guidelines

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 31).

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 com- bustion 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.

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.

Doors Fully Closed

Fireplace Front

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.
