If adjustments are required, grasp the door handle and loosen the lower door pivot 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 pivot pin*. Repeat this procedure for the opposite door if needed.

*Note: Upper door pivot 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 FIREPLACE OR APPLIANCE MODELS SHOWN ON THE FRONT PAGE. USE ON ANY OTHER FIREPLACE OR APPLIANCE MAY CONSTITUTE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

become damaged.

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.

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.

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.

• Assure wood and embers are well within the confines of the grate area

and well away from the glass doors.

• Keep glass doors closed at night when retiring to minimize the loss of

heated room air up the vent.

IMPORTANT: THE FINISH OF THESE DOORS MAY BE PROTECTED WITH A SELF ADHERING PLASTIC COATING THAT MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE HEAT IS GENERATED BY A FIRE IN THE FIREBOX. TO PREVENT MELTING, ENSURE THAT ANY PLASTIC COATING PROTECTING THE FINISH OF THESE DOORS IS REMOVED FOLLOWING INSTALLATION. REFER TO THE FIREPLACE INSTALLATION AND HOMEOWNER'S INSTRUCTIONS FOR DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE MAINTENANCE OF THE FINISH OF THESE DOORS.

P/N 750,141M REV. B 06/2006

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE

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 distributor or dealer.

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.
