FOR BROKEN GLASS
Put an old disposable towel on the ground in front of the stove. When you open the door, make sure the stove is cool, put on your gloves, and
open the door slowly. Any loose or broken glass should fall onto the towel. Any residual glass pieces should be picked up with gloves and
placed on the towel.
Take a 7/16 end wrench or socket and slowly loosen the nuts around the sides of the glass and remove any remaining pieces.
The gasket should be disposed of. ( Install new gasket during installation of new glass, see below.)
Make sure all glass is placed on the towel, and wearing your gloves, fold up the towel and dispose of in a correct manner.
Remove remaining hardware.
FOR GLASS REPLACEMENT
Make sure the stove is cool and open the door.
Use a 7/16" wrench or socket to remove the hardware The glass hold downs are all the same dimension and will fit on any side of the glass
during new glass installation. ( Be careful during installation that the glass hold downs are set against the glass in the right direction to assure
they are flat against the glass before installing hardware.)
Remove all the hardware and leave the bars holding the glass in place. Put on your gloves and remove the bars and set aside while holding
the glass in place with one hand. With your other hand use it to push the glass slowly towards the inside of the door to remove.
Grab the top of the edge of the door and lightly tap on the bottom of the door to lift it off the 3 hinges, being careful to not let the little brass
washers on the hinge not come off with the door removal. If the brass washers come off, they must be put back down on the post of the
hinge before the door goes back on.
Put the door on a flat surface with the outside of the door down.
Take the new glass and with gloves on, wrap the edge of the glass so the heat tape is centered on the edge of the glass and it folds over both
the front and back side of the glass. You should start in the middle edge of one of the sides of the glass. DO NOT START ON A CORNER. The
adhesive side should be against the edge of the glass to keep it secure. Go all the way around the glass edge until you meet ends and then
cut the fire tape with scissors.
Place the glass back in the door and hold it in place by hand, making sure it is centered by looking at all edges making sure you have the same
distance on the inset that the glass sits in
.

VERY IMPORTANT

IF THE GLASS IS NOT CENTERED, PUSH IT BACK THROUGH AND RE-CENTER IT. DO NOT SLIDE IT AROUND AS
THIS MAY FOLD THE GASKET OVER AND CREATE A NON AIRTIGHT SEAL.
Slide on one of the bars making sure it is placed correctly to sit flat against the glass and install one set of hardware to hold it in place hand
tight.
Tip the door up and look around the other side of the door and make sure the gasket does not have any folded gaps or the gasket has not
slipped out of place.
Continue to install bars and hardware all the way around the glass and tighten finger tight.
After inspecting glass from the front one more time, making sure there are no gaps or folds in the gasket go around the door and very lightly
tighten the hardware so it is snug with the wrench handle. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. you should not be able to loosen any of the nuts with your
fingers.
Re-install the door by sliding all 3 hinges together at the same time keeping the door in a straight up and down position and fully seat the door
until both sides of the hinge are touching the brass washer.
Clean the glass.
Close and latch the door.
