CARE & MAINTENANCE
ACID HEARTH: Newly constructed fireplaces are cleaned with acid to remove extra mortar. Unless removed,
the acid will crystallize in the brick pores and emit gas which may damage the finish on the fireplace
fixtures or other nearby metal objects. “Acid Hearth” damages brass, steel, and iron. This condition can
persist for a year or longer unless corrected. Consult your mason for more information.
FIXTURES DAMAGED BY “ACID HEARTH” ARE NOT CONSIDERED MANUFACTURING
DEFECTS AND THEREFORE WILL VOID WARRANTY!
The following suggestion, while not a guaranteed remedy, may aid in correcting “Acid Hearth:”
1. Saturate the hearth area with a solution of household ammonia or hearth cleaner. Use care to avoid
contact with adjacent carpet, floor, etc.
2. Rinse thoroughly with warm water or hot water.
3.Rinse several times with cool water to remove all ammonia.
4.Allow hearth area to dry and seal with a hearth sealer.
ASH DISPOSAL: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
CREOSOTE-FORMATION & NEED FOR REMOVAL: When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in
the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue
lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney connector and chimney
should be inspected at least twice monthly during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup
has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
MAINTENANCE: Your glass enclosure is built to require very little maintenance. It is suggested, however, that
you perform the following procedures as required to maintain the original attractive appearance of the
glass enclosure.
• Care of Glass: The glass in the doors has been specifically treated for use with fireplaces. This glass is eight
times stronger than conventional plate glass, but it is possible to break the glass through abuse by
overheating it, or by blocking any of the air intakes The glass can be cleaned when completely cooled with
most household cleaners.
• Care of Frame: Your enclosure is covered with a durable anodized finish to prevent peeling, chipping and
scratching. DO NOT POLISH THE FINISH. When cleaning is required, use a mild liquid detergent and a soft
cloth. DO NOT USE an acid base or abrasive cleaner.
• Replacement Parts: Use only specified replacement parts available from your dealer. Do not use substitute
parts.

ADJUSTMENT INFORMATION
ADJUSTING THE DOOR-SET:
Sometimes due to vibrations during transportation, or as a result of handling, the doors may come out of
adjustment. Follow these steps to adjust your door-set.
1.) Make sure that the frame is plum in the fireplace.
2.) Look at the trim around the glass. This is most likely the place where an
adjustment may be needed. The glass may have shifted causing a gap
between the end of the glass and the end caps, or it may have
moved from side to side.
3.) Using a rubber mallet, gently tap the end caps until they are
against the glass, or tap the glass until it is centered with the cap.
NOTE: DO NOT USE A METAL-FACED HAMMER OR ANY HARD OBJECT -- IT MAY CAUSE YOU TO
INADVERTENTLY DENT OR DING THE CAPS, OR CHIP THE GLASS!
You should try to get a 1/8” gap between the two center pieces
and a 1/16” gap (or less) between the two outer panels of glass on
each half of the door set.
4.) If the door set still needs alignment, loosen the hinge screw
where the door attaches to the frame, adjust the door-set
left/right and front/back as required, then tighten screws
firmly.
REMOVING THE DOOR-SET:
If for some reason you need to remove the
door-set, it is recommended that you call your
installer. If this is not possible, please follow these procedures.
1.) Open the door-set to the full fold position (all the way open, and folded against
the frame).
2.) Remove the two screws in the lower hinge.
3.) Remove the two screws in the top hinge.
4.) Lean the door-set forward to remove.
5.) Repeat for the other side.
ADJUSTING THE DOOR FRAME:
There are four AMS corner brackets on the back of the frame. These have been factory
tightened. It is possible that they may have loosened during transportation and create
a separation at the miter. To adjust, use a 1/4” flat head screwdriver, and loosen the two
screws in the AMS bracket. Align the miter firmly and re-tighten the screws. Repeat for
other corners if necessary.
