Glass doors are optional with the replace. When
fireplace is in operation, doors must be fully
opened or fully closed position only or a re hazard
may be created (see Figure 30).
A replace equipped with glass doors operates
much differently than a replace with an open
front. A replace with glass doors has a limited
amount of air for combustion.
Excessive heat within the replace can result if
too large a re is built or if combustion air gate is
not completely open. The following tips should
be followed to assure that both the replace and
glass door retain their beauty and function prop-
erly. Both the ue damper and glass doors must
be fully opened before starting re. This will
provide sufcient combustion air and maintain
safe temperatures in rebox.
IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed to
warm slowly and evenly. The tempered glass will
withstand a gradual temperature rise to 550° F,
which is more than a normal re will generate.
Such materials as pitch/wax laden logs, very dry
mill end lumber and large amounts of paper or
cardboard boxes can create an excessively hot re
and should not be burned in this replace. Always
keep the re well back from the doors and never
allow ames to contact the glass.

Spring clips have been installed but some adjust-
ments may be needed. Install the doors using the
following steps:
1. With bi-fold doors completely folded, insert
bottom pivot pin into pivot hole located near
bottom corner of front face opening and swing
door to vertical position making sure top pins
slide into door track. Door is installed when
top door pin snaps into spring clip.
2. Repeat step 1 for remaining door.
If you nd the doors do not close properly or do
not appear level or straight, proceed with section
on door adjustment,

Remove doors and slightly loosen lower pivot clips
and upper spring clips. Replace doors and fully close
them. Use 1/8" shims (any material) to level doors.
Once proper setting is achieved, carefully open doors
enough so that you can access spring clips with a phil-
lips screwdriver. Tighten screws. See Figure 29.
