Operation and Maintenance Guidelines
Glass Doors
Glass doors are optional with the fireplace. When the fireplace is in operation, doors must be fully opened or fully closed position only or a fire hazard may be created (see Figure 21).
A fireplace equipped with glass doors operates mush 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 the combustion air gate is not completely open.
