ADJUSTMENT FOR DOOR ALIGNMENT
The doors are properly adjusted when the top door trim is in a straight,
level line and the gap between the doors is even at the top and bottom. If
adjustments are required, grasp the door handle and loosen the lower
door pivot pin using a ³⁄₈" open end wrench*. Slide the door panel on the
hinge pin until the gap between the upper door trim and upper frame is
even. Retighten the lower door pivot pin*. Repeat this procedure for the
opposite door if needed.
*Note: Upper door pivot pins can also be loosened for adjustment
purposes; however, it is easier to loosen lower pins.

TUTE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
•Avoid building extremely large fires as the tempered glass could
become damaged.

TO CLEAN THE GLASS OR THE DOOR FRAME. AN AMMONIA BASED
CLEANER WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH.
Remove dirt and grime from the doors using a clean dampened towel
followed by wiping with a dry towel. To remove stubborn stains from the
doors, use a mild soap solution and towel to gently scrub away stain.
Take care not to scratch the glass surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
IMPORTANT: THESE GLASS DOORS UTILIZE TEMPERED GLASS
WHICH IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES BUT CAN
UNEXPECTEDLY SHATTER. DO NOT SIT CLOSE TO THE GLASS.
Tempered glass will break into small particles if it should shatter
unexpectedly. If the glass breaks, particles of extremely hot glass could
be discharged into the surrounding environment, thereby creating a risk
ofpersonalinjuryorfire.Observationoftheabove operating precautions
and instructions will reduce the risk of personal injury or fire.
Extreme temperature changes can cause breakage —do not build a hot
fire and close the doors if the doors are cold.
If the tempered glass pane becomes scratched or chipped, it creates a
weakness in the glass which can cause the glass to break when heated.
Replace the pane of glass by contacting your nearest distributor or
dealer.
