Installing the Glass Enclosure
All manufactured housing fireplaces must have glass
enclosures. The BCMH fireplaces are equipped with
glass door panels that are factory installed.
When the glass enclosure kit is properly installed in
the fireplace opening, the door tracks will have an ap-
proximate 1/2" (13 mm) air space between tracks and
surround, (at bottom and top of opening) created by the
spacers. These air spaces must not be blocked. (Fig.
25) NOTE: Spacers are attached to the top and bottom
door track.
If the doors do not align and work smoothly, the door
assembly needs to be aligned. Open the door and
loosen the top and bottom spring bracket slightly and
adjust the door to eliminate the misalignment or binding.
Position the door and retighten the retaining screw.
WARNING: Fireplaces equipped with doors should
be operated only with the doors fully open or doors
fully closed. If doors are left partly open, gas and
flame may be drawn out of the fireplace opening,
creating risks of both fire and smoke. (Fig. 26)
Make sure door assemblies are centered in fireplace
opening. There should be a 3/8" (10 mm) vertical gap
between glass edge and side of fireplace opening.
Check both doors for smooth operation while closing.
Door bottoms should make good contact with opposing
door, but not too difficult to close.
