Removing the Glass on Double Glass Fireplaces

Keeping a clear view takes a careful touch.

How do I remove the glass on a double glass fireplace?

On Flare Double Glass models, the outer safety glass is designed to be removable for cleaning or service. To remove it:

– Make sure the fireplace is completely off and cool.

– Secure two industrial glass suction cups against the outer layer of tempered glass.

– With suctions cups secure, lift the outer glass panel slightly upward, then pull it outward and away from the unit.

– Place the outer tempered glass on top of a padded moving blanket and in a safe location away from the work area.

– Remove the filler pieces on the left, right, and then bottom of the fireplace, exposing the inner glass trim pieces.

– Loosen hand screws and remove the left, right, and bottom inner glass trim, and place them in a safe location.

– Loosen the hand screws to open the upper butterfly trim.

– Secure two industrial glass suction cups against the inner layer of ceramic glass.

– With suctions cups secure, lift the inner glass panel slightly upward, then pull it outward and away from the unit.

– Place the inner ceramic glass on top of a padded moving blanket and in a safe location away from the work area.

The glass should only ever be removed for cleaning, and by a certified service technician. When reinstalling, ensure the glass is seated properly in the frame and the inner glass trims are properly positioned over the inner layer of glass, securing it against the gasket running the perimeter of the fireplace opening.
