GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with this 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 23).
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 fireplace
can result if too large a fire is built or if combustion air gate is not
completely open.
The following tips should be used to assure that both fireplace and
glass door retain their beauty and function properly. Both the flue
damper and glass doors must be fully opened before starting a
fire. This will provide sufficient combustion air and maintain safe
temperatures in firebox.
IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed to warm slowly and evenly.
Tempered glass will withstand a gradual temperature rise to 550°
F, which is more than a normal fire will generate. Such materials as
pitch/wax laden logs, very dry mill end lumber and large amounts
of paper or cardboard boxes can create an excessively hot fire and
should not be burned in this fireplace. Always keep fire back from
doors and never allow flames to contact glass.
" WARNING: FIREPLACES EQUIPPED WITH DOORS
SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY WITH 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".
