ATTACHING THE DOOR ASSEMBLY
The door assemblies have been packaged sepa- rately, protected in their own special carton. Carefully remove the protective carton wrap and inspect the door assemblies for any signs of damage. The glass pane is made from ceramic glass and can be broken relatively easy from a hard impact. Handle these door assemblies with care.
Step 1. Behind each screen assembly, on both sides of the firebox, there are five (5) screws that are oriented in a vertical fashion. Two (2) of these screws (2 per side) must be loosened and must remain in place. Remove the three
(3)remaining screws (3 per side) from the fireplace and set aside (Figure 4 ).

Step 2. Starting with either the right of left side door assembly, slide the door hinge (attached to the door) behind the two (2) screws that remain in the fireplace side, that align with the open slots in the hinge. Hang the door assembly over these two (2) screws so that the door hinge is set towards the rear of the fireplace as far as it will go (Figure 5 ).

Step 3. Replace the other three (3) screws, previously removed, back through the slots in the hinge and into the fireplace side. Tighten all five screws only until resistance is felt.
Step 4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the opposite door assembly.
Step 5. Close both doors to determine where and how adjustments are to be made. Proceed to the following section on door adjustment proce- dures.Afteradjustmentshavebeenmade,tighten all screws.
GLASS DOOR ADJUSTMENTS
The glass doors on your FirePlusTM fireplace will have to be adjusted after they are attached. The doors may also become misaligned due to long periods of burning, excessive overheating, and opening and closing the doors. The following procedure explains how to adjust and remove the door assemblies.
Horizontal and Vertical Adjustments
By loosening the acorn nuts (B) that attach the door to the hinge, the entire door assembly can be adjusted in both a horizontal and vertical orientation. Care must be taken when all five (5) acorn nuts are loosened as there will be nothing to support the door assembly from dropping.
Adjustments can be made in both horizontal and vertical planes by tilting the door assembly in or out at the top or bottom. It is also possible to rotate the door assembly in both a clockwise and counter clockwise motion.
In or Out Adjustment
By loosening the (A) Phillips head screws, it is possible to move the door assembly towards or away from the fireplace. It is also possible to tilt the door assembly in or out at the top or bottom.
Note: The door adjustment procedure will be difficult to control if either the (A) or (B) fasteners are loosened too much.
Door Removal
Should it become necessary to remove the door assemblies from the fireplace, always remove the five (5) Phillips head screws that attach the door hinge to the fireplace, identified as (A) in Figure 6.

Care and Cleaning of Your Glass Doors
Never clean the glass when the doors are hot. Do not use ammonia or ammonia based glass or household cleaner to clean the glass or the door frame. An ammonia based cleaner will damage the finish of the glass door.
Clean the glass doors by wiping with a damp towel followed by a clean dry towel to remove streaks.
Remove stubborn stains from the glass with a mild soap solution and a towel dampened with clean water. Dry with a clean dry towel.
•The fire must always be confined within the boundaries of the fuel grate.
•The fireplace screens must always be closed whenever the fireplace is being used.
•Never slam the glass door since it could cause the glass to break.
•Do not build excessively large or hot fires — scorching or discoloring of the plated brass trim may occur.
•Extreme temperature changes can cause glass breakage — do not build a hot fire and close the glass doors if the doors are cold.
•If the tempered glass pane becomes scratched or chipped, it creates a weakness in the glass which can cause the glass to break when heated. Replace the pane of glass by contacting your nearest dealer.
