Door Installation
Figure 11
The door must be installed only when the
installation of This fireplace is completed. Fit
the male part of the hinge, already fixed on the
door, in the female part, which is fixed on the
fireplace (see Figure 11).
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 fit is still not perfect, you can
adjust the door using the hinge screws (see
Figure 12).

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 fireplace facade at the bottom of the
fireplace 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 This fireplaces 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 fireplace. Replacement ceramic glass
should be purchased from an IHP dealer. DO
NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH CRACKED OR
BROKEN GLASS.
Glass Care - Cleaning
This fireplace is designed to keep the glass
clean under normal operating conditions. If
This fireplace is operated continuously with
the combustion air damper closed, the glass
will tend to get dirty unless the fuel, firebox
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 recom-
mend 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.

Gasket Replacement
Remove the door from the unit and lay it on a
clean unabrasive surface. To replace the gasket,
first remove all of the old gasket and gasket
cement. Make sure that the surface is totally
clean before applying new cement or adhesion

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Locating the Fireplace
1. The best place to install your fireplace is
determined by considering the location of
windows, doors, and the traffic flow in the
room where the fireplace is to be 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.
If possible, you should choose a location
where the chimney will pass through the
house without cutting floor or roof joists
(see fireplace dimensions on Page 13).
2. Usually, no additional floor support is needed
for the fireplace. The adequacy of the floor
can be checked by first estimating the weight
of the fireplace system. Weights are given
on Page 28. Note the floor construction
and consult your local building code to
determine if additional support is needed.
3. A minimum of 7' (2134 mm) measured from
the floor to the ceiling is required to install
the fireplace. The fireplace can be installed
on a combustible floor or on a base, leaving
at least 6'8" (2032 mm) from the base of
the unit to the ceiling.
