USEFUL INFORMATION
Adjusting the Door-Set: Sometimes due to
vibrations during transportation, or as a result of
handling, the door-set may get out of adjustment. To
Adjust the door-set, first make sure the frame is plum
in the fireplace. Once you have established that, look
at the trim around the glass. This is the most likely
place where an adjustment may be needed. The
glass may have shifted causing a gap between the
end of the glass and the end caps, or it may have
moved from side to side. Using a rubber mallet,
gently tap the end caps until they are against the
glass or tap the glass until it is centered with the cap.
Again, these end caps and the glass may be tapped
into position. DO NOT USE A METAL FACED
HAMMER or any other hard object which may cause
you to inadvertently dent or ding the caps, or chip
the glass. You are looking for a 1/8" gap between the
two center pieces of glass and a 1/16" gap (or less)
between the two pieces of glass on each half of the
door-set, and you should end up with about a 3/16"
to 1/4" gap between the two outer panels of glass
and the frame. Once the above procedure is done,
and the door-set still needs adjustment, or alignment,
then slightly loosen frame hinge screw on top and
bottom (Fig VI), adjust the door-set left to right or
front to back as required, and tighten screws firmly .
Removing the Door-Set: If for some reason you need to remove the door-set, it is
recommended that you call your installer. If it is not possible, or you want to do it yourself,
then please follow the procedures outlined below:
a. Open the door-set to the full fold position (all the way opened, and folded against
the frame).
b. Remove the 2 screws in the lower hinge (Fig VII).
c. Remove the 2 screws in the top hinge (Fig VII).
d. Lean the door-set forward to remove.
e. Repeat for the other side.
Adjusting the Door Frame: There are 4 AMS corner brackets on the back of the frame
(Fig III Page 4). These brackets have been factory tightened. However, it is possible that
during transportation, and handling, they may loosen, and create a separation at the miter .
Make sure all four mitered corners are properly aligned. To adjust alignment use a 1/4" flat
head screwdriver, and loosen the 2 screws in the AMS bracket. Align the miter and firmly
re-tighten the screws. Repeat this on the other corners if necessary .
