GLASS CARE
Glass Replacement
The glass used for the Montecito Estate fireplace is a high temperature
ceramic glass (1,400° F). If the glass breaks or cracks, it must be
replaced with an identical ceramic glass. Tempered glass or ordinary
glass will not withstand the high temperatures of the Montecito Estate
fireplace . Replacement glass should be purchased from a IHP dealer
(see "Replacement Parts" on Page 23).
DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS.
Glass Cleaning
The Montecito Estate fireplace is designed to keep the glass clean under
normal operating conditions. If the Montecito Estate fireplace is operated
continuously with the combustion air controls closed, the glass will tend to
get dirty unless the fuel, firebox and glass are maintained at hot tempera-
tures (see section Refueling For Best Performance). To clean the glass,
there are a number of specially designed cleaners to remove creosote.
Your IHP Dealer can recommend a suitable cleaner. 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 doors from the unit (see section Door Installation) and lay
them on a clean nonabrasive 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 (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. This replacement part is available from your IHP dealer in the
following dimensions:

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Locating The Montecito Estate Fireplace
The best location to install your fireplace is determined by considering
the location of windows, doors, and the traffic flow in the room where
the fireplace 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. 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
Pages 9 and 10).
Usually, no additional floor support is needed for the fireplace. The ad-
equacy of the floor can be checked by first estimating the weight of the
fireplace system. Weights are given in the appendix. Next, measure the
area occupied by the fireplace. Note the floor construction and consult
your local building code to determine if additional support is needed.
The Montecito Estate fireplace may be installed directly on the floor or
on a raised base and a minimum of 80" measured from the base of the
appliance to the ceiling is required.
