GLASS CARE
Glass Replacement
The glass used for the WCT6820WS fi replace
is a high temperature ceramic glass (1,400° F /
760° C). If the glass breaks, it must be replaced
with an identical ceramic glass. Tempered glass
or ordinary glass will not withstand the high
temperatures of the WCT6820WS fi replace.
Replacement glass should be purchased from a
IHP dealer (see "Replacement Parts", Page 22).
DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH CRACKED
OR BROKEN GLASS.
Glass Cleaning
The WCT6820WS fi replace is designed to keep
the glass clean under normal operating condi-
tions. If the WCT6820WS fi replace is operated
continuously with the combustion air controls
closed, the glass will tend to get dirty unless
the fuel, fi rebox and glass are maintained at
hot temperatures (see "Refueling 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 household
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 (see Page 7)
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 (a high temperature silicone caulking
rated at 500° F [260° C], is suitable) or adhesion
problems may result. Apply gasket cement to
the gasket channel and install the new gasket.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Locating The WCT6820WS Fireplace
The best location 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 located, allowing space
in front of the unit for the hearth extension and
the mantel, and taking into consideration the
location of the hot air ducts (optional), outside
air kit and chimney.
Location Recommended
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
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 dimen-
sions Page 9).
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 22. Note the fl oor construction and
consult your local building code to determine
if additional support is needed.
The WCT6820WS fi replace may be installed

directly on the fl oor or on a raised base (for
proper guidelines, refer to "Hearth Extension
Requirements") and a minimum of 6'8" (2 m)
PR-SR1685D measured from the base of the appliance to the
ceiling is required.
PR-SR1823G
When selecting the location, the chimney outlet
position and the direction of the wind are impor-
tant factor affecting the chimney performance.
To allow a maximum draft and to reduce wind
PR-SR1823H
turbulence, the chimney must:

• Penetrate the highest part of the roof.
• Be installed as far as possible of roof offsets,
trees or any other obstructions that may
cause wind turbulence and back drafts in
the chimney.
• The least amount of offsets (elbows) pos-
sible. NOTE: A maximum of 2 offsets is
allowed.
