GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with the replace.
When replace is in operation, doors must be
fully opened or fully closed position only or a
re hazard may be created (see Figure 47).
A replace equipped with glass doors oper-
ates 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 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 re-
place and glass doors retain their beauty and
function properly. Both 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.
