should be then placed in the bottom of the firebox. The baffle for the Onyx AP is in two pieces (11.6.N) and is
easily put into place at the top of the firebox. The secondary air tubes must be first removed. The two small front
refractories (11.4.N & 11.5.N) are then placed in their appropriate positions.
These directions should be reversed in order to remove the refractory from the Onyx AP.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

The high heat paint and gold plating can be cleaned with a soft moist cloth. Use a mild detergent and water only
to clean these surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners!

ASHES

Clean the ashes out of the fireplace when they become too deep, i.e., before you have a spillage problem when
opening the doors.
When removed from the ash pan, ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial, or otherwise locally dispersed, they should
be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

DOOR

If the door does not close tightly, adjust the door
closer. You can do this by loosening the nuts under
the door closer pins. Turn the hinge pins with a slot-
ted screwdriver until a light "click" is heard when
closing the door. Note how the locations of the pins
vary as you turn them. The hinges are adjustable, by
loosening the bolts holding the hinges, and sliding the
hinges backwards or forwards. After adjustment,
tighten the bolts. Make sure the door is square with the
face of the Onyx AP, before tightening the hinge bolts.
If the door seal is damaged to the point where it does
not seal tightly, replace it. The gasket replacement kit,
part FDGRK1 is available from your dealer.
If you want the Onyx AP fireplace door to open from
the opposite side, i.e. if the door presently opens right
to left with the handle on the right, and you would like
to reverse this operation, follow these instructions:
(refer to Figure 1b).
1. Remove the top and bottom louvers by pulling the louvers down and out.
2. With the door still closed, remove the top hinge by removing the 2 nuts.
3. Carefully remove the door by opening the door latch and lifting the door off the bottom hinge.
4. Remove the bottom hinge and both closer pins. The closer pins are held with a nut underneath the flange.
5. Remove the closer hook by pushing out the split pins with a drift punch.
6. Reassemble with door upside down, making sure the closer hooks point away from the door.
7. Reassemble hinges on the opposite side to where they were located.
8. Install closer pins on the opposite side and adjust, so the door closer 'clicks' closed easily.
