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 Ladera fireplace. Replace-
ment 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 Ladera fireplace is designed to keep the
glass clean under normal operating conditions.
If the Ladera 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 temperatures
(see "Refueling 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 (see Page 6)
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 (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 Ladera Fireplace

The best location to install your fireplace is
determined by considering the location of

the mantel, and taking into consideration the
location of the hot air ducts (optional), outside
air kit (optional) and chimney.

the chimney will pass through the house without
