OPERATING PRECAUTIONS AND
INSTRUCTIONS
The glass doors and the fireplace flue damper must both be
in the fully open position before starting your fire.
Follow the procedure for building and starting a fire as detailed in your fireplace homeowners manual. Y ou may close
the doors AFTER the fire is well st arted. THE FIRST FEW
FIRES MUST BE SMALL TO ALLOW THE PROPER TEMPERING OF THE GLASS AND TO PREVENT GLASS
BREAKAGE.
Do not, however, close the doors on an excessively hot fire.
The glass must be allowed to warm slowly. Keep the fire
well back from the doors and never let flames contact the
glass.
If the fire gets too large at any time, open both sets of glass
doors. This will quickly reduce the heat in the firebox. Push
the logs or other fuel to the center of the firebox and rearrange into single layer. Let the fire burn to a smaller size
before closing the glass doors again.
18. Attach the ball stud receiver brackets to the bottom door
track. Use the 4 1/4" screws as shown in Figure 7.

screws on the receiver brackets and turn the ball stud

BALL STUD.
20. If the ball studs and receiver brackets are not holding
the doors closed, you may need to compress the gasket material on the back of the door by pressing it down
with your fingers.
NOTE: The ball stud may need to be adjusted after the first
couple of fires. Periodically check the alignment of the ball
stud with the ball stud receiver bracket and adjust if necessary.
