Removing Glass Door
If replacement of glass is necessary, the entire
assembly, glass and frame, must be replaced. If
glass is broken, wear gloves and tape the remaining
fragments onto the frame.
1. Remove screen assembly by pushing the rod
either left or right and then down and forward
to remove screen/rod assembly from the fire-
box. Set assembly aside.
2. Lift up on latches to unlock. There are two on
top of firebox and two below firebox that hold
glass door in place (see Figure 41).

falling and causing injury, remove the five
screws from the hinge located on the left side
of door frame assembly (see Figure 41).

new screws before closing door. This will
