Door Installation
Figure 8
The door must be installed only when the
installation of the WRT4826WH fi replace is
completed. Fit the male part of the hinge, already
fi xed on the door, in the female part, which is
fi xed on the fi replace (see Figure 8).
To remove the door, simply pull the door up
from the hinges.
The adjustment of the door has been set at
the factory. If the fi t is still not perfect, you
can adjust the door using the hinge screws
(see Figure 9).

Door Adjustment
The door may need to be adjusted to be com-
pletely airtight. The gasket airtightness can be
adjusted using the adjustment screw located
on the fi replace facade at the bottom of the
fi replace opening. (An Allen key # 1/8 will be
necessary for adjustment). Turning the screw
clockwise will increase air tightness.
Glass Care - Replacement
The glass used for the WRT4826WH fi replace is a
high temperature ceramic glass (1,400° F / 760°
C). If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with a
ceramic glass. Tempered glass or ordinary glass
will not withstand the high temperatures of the
WRT4826WH fi replace. Replacement ceramic
glass should be purchased from an IHP dealer.
DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH CRACKED
OR BROKEN GLASS.
Glass Care - Cleaning
The WRT4826WH fi replace is designed to keep
the glass clean under normal operating condi-
tions. If the WRT4826WH fi replace is operated
continuously with the combustion air damper
closed, the glass will tend to get dirty unless
the fuel, fi rebox and glass are maintained at
hot temperatures (see "Refuelling For Best
Performance"). To clean the glass, there are
a number of specially designed cleaners. Your
IHP dealer can recommend a suitable cleaner
which is available in your area. Regular house-
hold glass cleaners will not clean creosote. Do
not use abrasives such as steel pads, steel wool
or oven cleaner as they will scratch the glass.

DO NOT USE CHEMICAL GLASS CLEANERS
ON PAINTED SURFACES AS IT MAY CAUSE
THE PAINT TO PEEL.
CAUTION : DO NOT ALLOW WINDOW CLEANER
TO GET IN CONTACT WITH DOOR GASKET OR
PAINT ON FACADE OR DOOR. ONCE CLOSED,
CONTACT OF GLASS CLEANER WITH THE
FIREPLACE FACADE CAN PROVOKE PAINT
PEELING OFF.
Gasket Replacement
Remove the door from the unit and lay it on a
clean unabrasive surface. To replace the gasket,
fi rst remove all of the old gasket and gasket
cement. Make sure that the surface is totally
clean before applying new cement or adhesion
problems may result. Apply gasket cement to
the gasket channel and install the new gasket.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Locating the Fireplace
1. The best place to install your fi replace is
determined by considering the location of
windows, doors, and the traffi c fl ow in the
room where the fi replace is to be located,
allowing space in front of the unit for the
hearth extension and the mantel, and tak-
ing into consideration the location of the
hot air ducts (optional), outside air kit and
chimney. If possible, you should choose
a location where the chimney will pass
through the house without cutting fl oor
or roof joists (see fi replace dimensions on
Page 12).
2. Usually, no additional fl oor support is
needed for the fi replace. The adequacy of
the fl oor can be checked by fi rst estimating
the weight of the fi replace system. Weights
are given on Page 25. Note the fl oor con-
struction and consult your local building
code to determine if additional support is
needed.
3. A minimum of 7' (2134 mm) measured from
the fl oor to the ceiling is required to install
the WRT4826WH fi replace. The fi replace
can be installed on a combustible fl oor or
on a base, leaving at least 6'8" (2032 mm)
from the base of the unit to the ceiling.
