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 phil-
lips screwdriver. Tighten screws. See Figure 23.

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 24).
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 fol-
lowed to assure that both the fireplace and glass door
retain their beauty and function properly. Both the flue
damper and glass doors must be fully opened before

WARNING: Fireplaces
equipped with glass doors
should be operated only with
doors fully opened or doors fully
closed. Doors, if left partly open,
may draw gas and flame out of
the fireplace opening creating
risks of both fire and smoke.
