DOOR INSTALLATION
The doors must be put in place only when the installation of the fireplace
is completed. All you have to do is fit the male part of the hinge, already
on the door, to the female part, which is on the fireplace. To remove the
doors, simply pull them up from the hinges. The door adjustment has
been set at the factory. If the fit is still not perfect, you can adjust the
door using the hinge screws (See
Figure 11-1
)

Checking Door Seal
A one-inch strip of paper may be used to perform a test of the integrity
of the door seal. Close the door on the paper in at least eight points. It
is normal to feel only a slight amount of friction. The door gasket does
not need to be “tight” in all areas, since a small amount of leakage is not
hazardous or detrimental to the performance of your fireplace.
GLASS CARE
Glass Replacement
The glass used for the fireplace is a high temperature ceramic glass
(1,400° F). If the glass breaks or cracks, it must be replaced with an
identical ceramic glass. Tempered glass or ordinary glass will not with-
stand the high temperatures of the fireplace. Replacement glass should
be purchased from a IHP dealer (see
“Replacement Parts”
on
Page 27
)
.
DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS.
Glass Cleaning
The fireplace is designed to keep the glass clean under normal operating
conditions. If the fireplace is operated continuously with the primary air
control closed, the glass will tend to get dirty unless the fuel, firebox and
glass are maintained at hot temperatures (see section
Refueling For Best
Performance)
. To clean the glass, there are a number of specially designed
cleaners to remove creosote. Your IHP Dealer can recommend a suiTable
5leaner. Regular household glass cleaners will not clean creosote.
Do
not use abrasives such as steel pads, steel wool or oven cleaner as
they will scratch the glass.
DO NOT USE CHEMICAL GLASS CLEANERS ON PAINTED SURFACES AS
IT MAY CAUSE THE PAINT TO PEEL.
CAUTION : DO NOT ALLOW WINDOW CLEANER TO GET IN CONTACT
WITH DOOR GASKET OR PAINT ON FACADE OR DOOR. ONCE CLOSED,
CONTACT OF GLASS CLEANER WITH THE FIREPLACE FACADE CAN
LEAD TO PAINT PEELING OFF.
Gasket Replacement
Remove the doors from the unit (see section
Door Installation)
and lay
them on a clean nonabrasive surface. To replace the gasket, first remove
all of the old gasket and gasket cement. Make sure that the surface is
totally clean before applying new cement (a high temperature silicone
caulking rated at 500° F (260° C), is suitable) or adhesion problems may
result. Apply gasket cement to the gasket channel and install the new
gasket. This replacement part is available from your IHP dealer in the
following dimensions:
WARNING
