GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with the replace.
When replace is in operation, doors must be
fully opened or fully closed position only or a
re hazard may be created (see Figure 41).
A replace equipped with glass doors oper-
ates much differently than a replace with an
open front. A replace with glass doors has a
limited amount of air for combustion.
Excessive heat within replace can result if
too large a re is built or if combustion air
gate is not completely open. The following tips
should be followed to assure that both re-
place and glass doors retain their beauty and
function properly. Both ue damper and glass
doors must be fully opened before starting re.
This will provide sufcient combustion air and
maintain safe temperatures in rebox.

CLEANING 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 re and smoke.

for the purpose of installing a vented or vent-
free decorative gas appliance incorporating an
automatic shutoff device and complying with
