GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with the V3610ST fireplace. Glass doors
come in cabinet type and BI-fold type. Check with your local
distributor for availability and options.
To install glass doors, refer to the installation instructions that are
included with the glass door kit.
When the fireplace is in operation, all doors must be in the FULLY
OPEN or FULLY CLOSED position only or a fire hazard may be
created (see Figure 31 and 32).
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 the combustion air
gate is not completely open.
The following tips should be followed to assure that both the fireplace
and the glass door retain their beauty and function properly.
• Both flue damper and the glass doors must be fully open before
starting the fire. This will provide sufficient combustion air and
maintain safe temperatures in the firebox. If operating with glass
doors closed, do so at this time. Do not operate with doors par-
tially open. Doors must be fully open or fully closed.
• The glass must be allowed to warm slowly and evenly. The tem-
pered glass will withstand a gradual temperature rise to 550 de-
grees Fahrenheit, which is more than other such materials as
pitch laden logs, very dry mill end lumber, large amounts of
paper or cardboard boxes.
• Always keep the fire well back from the doors and never allow
flames to contact the glass.
WARNING: Fireplaces equipped with glass doors
should be operated only with the doors fully open or
fully closed. Doors left partly open may draw gas (if
used) and flame out of the fireplace opening, creating
risk of both fire and smoke.
Cleaning the Glass
Clean glass with any commercial glass cleaner or soap and water.
DO NOT use any abrasive material to clean glass. DO NOT clean
glass with cool water if the glass is still too hot from the fire. To
remove doors, refer to instructions included with glass door kit.
