ADJUSTMENT FOR DOOR ALIGNMENT
The doors are properly adjusted when the top door trim is in a straight, level line and the gap between the doors is even at the top and bot­tom. If adjustments are required, grasp the door handle and loosen the lower door hinge pin using a 3/8" open end wrench*. Slide the door panel on the hinge pin until the gap be­tween the upper door trim and upper frame is even. Retighten the lower door hinge pin*. Repeat this procedure for the opposite door if needed.
*Note: Upper door hinge pins can also be loosened for adjustment purposes; however, it is easier to loosen lower pins.
GENERAL OPERATING PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: THESE GLASS DOORS ARE LISTED ONLY FOR USE WITH THE SUPE­RIOR FIREPLACE OR APPLIANCE MODELS SHOWN. USE ON ANY OTHER FIREPLACE OR APPLIANCE MAY CONSTITUTE A PO­TENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
Avoid building extremely large fires as the
tempered glass could become damaged.
Use fireplace tools carefully to avoid striking the glass.

The fireplace flue damper must remain open until fire is completely out.
Assure wood and embers are well within the confines of the grate area and well away from the glass doors.
IMPORTANT
These glass doors utilize tempered glass which is designed for use with high tempera­tures but can unexpectedly shatter. DO NOT SIT CLOSE TO THE GLASS.
Keep wire mesh screens closed during fire-
place use.
Keep glass doors closed at night when retir­ing to minimize the loss of heated room air up the vent.
CAUTION: THE FRONT-OPEN FIREPLACE OR APPLIANCE SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED WITH THE GLASS DOORS FULLY OPEN OR FULLY CLOSED.

CAUTION: GLASS AND METAL FRAMES GET HOT — ALWAYS USE HANDLES TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOORS.
CLEANING
NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS WHEN THE DOORS ARE HOT. DO NOT USE AMMONIA OR ANY AMMONIA BASED GLASS OR HOUSEHOLD CLEANER TO CLEAN THE GLASS OR THE DOOR FRAME. AN AMMONIA BASED CLEANER WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH.
Remove dirt and grime from the doors using a clean dampened towel followed by wiping with a dry towel. To remove stubborn stains from the doors, use a mild soap solution and towel to gently scrub away stain. Take care not to scratch the glass surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
CAUTION: THE CST-38 AND CPF-38 FIRE­PLACES MUST BE OPERATED WITH THE GLASS DOORS FULLY CLOSED.
Tempered glass will break into small particles if it should shatter unexpectedly. If the glass breaks, particles of extremely hot glass could be discharged into the surrounding environ­ment, thereby creating a risk of personal injury or fire. Observation of the above operating precautions and instructions will reduce the risk of personal injury or fire.
Extreme temperature changes can cause break­age — do not build a hot fire and close the doors if the doors are cold.
If the tempered glass pane becomes scratched or chipped, it creates a weakness in the glass which can cause the glass to break when heated. Replace the pane of glass by contacting your nearest LHP Distributor. For the name of your nearest distributor contact:

WARNING: DO NOT BURN TRASH, CONSTRUCTION SCRAPS, RAILROAD TIES, OR OTHER HIGHLY-FLAM­MABLE MATERIAL IN THE FIREPLACE. INTENSE HEAT CAN CAUSE THE GLASS TO LOSE STRENGTH AND RE­SILIENCE WHICH WILL RESULT IN GLASS BREAKAGE.
