DETAILING THE FIREPLACE (Continued)
Faceplate and Door Installation (Continued)
Check the position of the doors for
horizontal alignment (the doors in
this picture are out of alignment).
Add washers to the hinge pins on
this side to make the doors align
horizontally.
WARNING: GOLD PLATED SURFACES CAN ONLY BE CLEANED WITH DENATURED
ALCOHOL AND A VERY SOFT CLOTH. KEEP GOLD PLATING FREE OF
FINGER PRINTS, HEAT CAN CAUSE THEM TO BECOME PERMANENTLY
ETCHED IN THE GOLD PLATING.
Door Latch Adjustment
The door latch must be tested to insure there is a tight seal between the door gasket and the
fireplace. To test the door latch, close the fireplace door and secure the latch. Grasp the right
side door handle and pull it back and forth. There should be approximately 1/16" of play.
The handle should also be able to be turned all the way down. This movement is due to the
door gasket compressing and expanding. If there is more than 1/16" of play, or if the door
handle can not be turned down all the way, follow the directions in the following paragraphs
to adjust the door.
The door latch is held onto the handle with two nuts (refer to the illustration below). These
nuts work in conjunction with three washers to space the latch the appropriate distance away
from the door. The closer the latch is to the door, the tighter the latch will hold. The farther
away from the door the latch is to the door, the more loose the latch will hold.
