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 and the frame is even at the top
and bottom. The doors can be adjusted by changing the location of the
door inside the frame. The door may need adjustment for several
reasons. One would be that the doors do not fully close because they hit
in the center of frame. Another would be that there is a noticeable gap
in the center between the closed doors.
Fully Open or
Fully Closed
Front-Open Systems
If doors appear to close in correct position but do not latch (both doors
do not stay closed), then there is a misalignment between the doors and
the Center Wedge Clip. The Center Wedge Clip is located in the center
of the bottom Track. In order to stay closed, the left and right doors must
meet in the Middle of the Center Wedge Clip.

GENERAL OPERATING PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: THESE GLASS DOORS ARE LISTED ONLY FOR USE WITH
THE LENNOX FIREPLACE OR APPLIANCE MODELS SHOWN. USE ON
ANY OTHER FIREPLACE OR APPLIANCE MAY CONSTITUTE A POTEN-
TIAL FIRE HAZARD.
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.
• Avoid building extremely large fires as the tempered glass could
become damaged.
• Use fireplace tools carefully to avoid striking 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. Observationoftheaboveoperatingprecautions
and instructions will reduce the risk of personal injury or fire.
• Keep wire mesh screens closed during fireplace use.
• The fireplace flue damper must remain open until fire is completely
out.
Extreme temperature changes can cause breakage — do not build a hot
fire and close the doors if the doors are cold.
• Assure wood and embers are well within the confines of the grate area
and well away from the glass doors.
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. For the
name of your nearest distributor contact:
• Keep wire mesh screens closed during fireplace use.
• Keep glass doors closed at night when retiring to minimize the loss of
heated room air up the vent.
