A fireplace with glass doors has alimited amount of air for combustion. Exces-sive heat within the fireplace can result if toolarge a fire is built or if the combustion air gateis not completely open.The following tips should be followed to as-sure that both the fireplace and the glass doorretain their beauty and function properly. Boththe flue damper and the glass doors must befully opened before starting the fire. This willprovide sufficient combustion air and maintainsafe temperatures in the firebox.IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed towarm slowly and evenly. The tempered glass willwithstand a gradual temperature rise to 550° F,which is more than a normal fire will generate.Such materials as pitch/wax laden logs, very drymill end lumber and large amounts of paper orcardboard boxes can create an excessively hotfire and should not be burned in this fireplace.Always keep the fire well back from the doorsand never allow flames to contact the glass.WARNING: Fireplacesequipped with glass doorsshould be operated only withdoors fully opened or doors fullyclosed. Doors, if left partly open,may draw gas and flame out of thefireplace opening creating risksof both fire and smoke.Cleaning GlassClean the glass with any commercial glasscleaner or soap and water.
