DOOR ADJUSTMENT

Remove doors and slightly loosen lower pivot clips
and upper spring clips. Replace doors and fully
close them. Use 1/8" shims (any material) to level
doors. Once proper setting is achieved, carefully
open doors enough so that you can access spring
clips with a phillips screwdriver. Tighten screws.
See Figure 29.

GLASS DOORS

Glass doors are optional with the fireplace. When
fireplace is in operation, doors must be fully
opened or fully closed position only or a fire hazard
may be created (see Figure 30).
A fireplace equipped with glass doors operates
much differently than a fireplace with an open
front. A fireplace with glass doors has a limited
amount of air for combustion.
Excessive heat within the fireplace can result if
too large a fire is built or if combustion air gate is
not completely open. The following tips should
be followed to assure that both the fireplace and
glass door retain their beauty and function prop-
erly. Both the flue damper and glass doors must
be fully opened before starting fire. This will
