Removing Glass Enclosure Panels
(see Figure 5)
1. To access the glass door securing latches,
first open the lower control compartment
door (Figure 5) by sliding and pulling the
bottom panel forward.
2. Pull the latches forward and down to release
them from the door channel.
3. Pull the bottom of the door out a few inches
and grasp it on the right and left. Gently lift
to release the door from its channel above
the door. Pull the door forward.
4. Retrieve the glass door. Visually inspect the
gasket on the backside of the frame. Gasket
surface must be clean, free of irregularities
and seated firmly.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
5. Inspect the gasket for defects. Ensure it
is properly located. Make sure the bead is
not rolled up into the channel at the top of
the door, but remains flat against the top
of the glass (see Figure 5).
6. Position the door in front of the firebox
opening with the bottom of the door held
away from the fireplace (Figure 5). Hook
the top flange of the door frame over the
top of the firebox frame.
7. Let the bottom of the door frame swing
gently in towards the fireplace ensuring that
the gasket seats evenly as the door frame
draws shut. Fasten the two latches located
underneath the firebox floor to the door's
vee-flange. Close both the latches securely.
8. If desired, install the optional hood. Note
the location of the three clips inside the top
air channel above the door. The clips are
equally spaced on the top surface of the
air channel opening. Use a screwdriver to
open the clips slightly if needed. Engage
the back edge of the eyebrow into the clips
to secure.
