Operating Instructions
Proper operation ensures both safety and longevity of your fireplace doors.
- Opening Doors: Gently pull the handles to open the glass doors. Ensure they are fully open and secured against the fireplace frame when a fire is burning.
- Closing Doors: To close, gently push the doors until they meet in the center. The doors should close securely, preventing drafts when the fireplace is not in use.
- During Fire: As stated in the Safety Information, always keep the glass doors open when there is an active fire. The integrated mesh screen can be used to contain sparks while the glass doors remain open.
- After Fire: Once the fire has completely died down and the embers are cool, the glass doors can be closed to prevent heat loss and keep the fireplace clean.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will keep your fireplace glass doors looking good and functioning correctly.
- Glass Cleaning: Clean the glass panels only when the fireplace is completely cool. Use a specialized fireplace glass cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can scratch the glass or damage the frame finish.
- Frame Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and soot. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying thoroughly.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose hardware with the appropriate tool.
- Hinge Lubrication: If the doors become stiff to open or close, a small amount of high-temperature lubricant can be applied to the hinges.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Doors do not align or close properly. | Improper installation or shifting during use. | Re-adjust the top frame clips and other adjustment points using the flat wrench until doors are level and close with minimal gap. |
| Doors are stiff or squeak when opening/closing. | Dust/debris in hinges or lack of lubrication. | Clean hinges and apply a small amount of high-temperature lubricant. |
