INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR Z DOOR - Scroll Down for models MT48 and MT49 TO PREVENT FIRE HAZARD, IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT FRAME IS CORRECTLY INSTALLED! PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE DIRECTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN. TOOLS NEEDED: ELECTRIC DRILL, 7/64” DIAMETER DRILL BIT, AND A #1 PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER. HARDWARE INCLUDES: 4 DRYWALL SCREWS 1-5/8” LG. 1) The spacers (“Air Studs”) pop riveted to the frame indicate the bottom of the enclosure. These spacers elevate the frame to allow air to be drawn in under the frame of the enclosure to cool the firebox. In some cases there may be a black “Air Draft Bar” instead of the “Air studs”. The Air Draft Bar also indicates the bottom of the enclosure. If there are no Air Studs or Air Draft Bar, the Center Wedge Clip located inside the track in the center of the door frame indicates the bottom of a CV-2 enclosure. Two bullet catches in the track indicate the top of an FS-2 or CV-1 enclosure. It is important that the frame be installed with the correct side up to insure smooth operation of the doors. 2) Position the frame in the fireplace centering left and right. Mark the fireplace at each holes in the side panels. Remove the frame from the fireplace and drill a pilot hole 7/64” diameter at each of the four marks. Re-position the frame into the fireplace centering left and right. Insert the drywall screws through the side panel holes and screw them into the pilot holes that you just drilled (see Diagram below). Use a #3 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the drywall screws. Make sure that you do not over tighten! The enclosure may be centered by loosening one side and tightening the other.  CV2 DOOR INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT AND REMOVAL NOTE: There are three types of doors made by Thermo-Rite: the ClearView Bifold CV2, the ClearView Bifold Full Swing FS2, and the ClearView Twin Full Swing CV1. The CV2 and FS2 have two glass panes in each door, and the CV1 has one. The CV2 opens and closes by gliding within a track. The FS2 and CV1 are Full Swing and can be opened out away from the fireplace. Refer to the instructions on this page for CV2 doors. Refer to instructions on separate sheet for FS2 and CV1.  CV2 DOOR INSTALLATION: Fold panes of right door back to back with handle up as shown in Figure1. Tilt door so that it fits inside frame as shown in Diagram D. Next, insert Bottom Pin into Bottom Retainer Slot as shown in Figure 3. Then tilt top of door toward vertical position making sure that all Pins and Door Guides are inside Track. Finally, slide Top Pin along Top Retainer Clip until Top Pin snaps into Top Retainer Slot, see Figure 2. Repeat procedure for left door. CV2 DOOR ADJUSTMENT: 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. 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, see Figure 4. In order to stay closed, the left and right doors must meet in the Middle of the Center Wedge Clip. To adjust doors, first loosen, but do NOT remove the Phillips Screw that holds the Retainer Clip to the frame, See Figure 2 and 3. Move door to desired position then tighten screw. Repeat procedure for other Retainer Clips as needed. Operate doors to check alignment and repeat procedure if necessary. CV2 DOOR REMOVAL: Open door all the way until glass panes are back to back. While pushing down on door, push up on Top Retainer Clip with finger to free Top Pin and rotate top of door toward center of frame, see Diagram D and Figure 2. Carefully remove door.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR Z DOOR MODELS MT48, MT49 PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE DIRECTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN. THE TOOLS YOU WILL NEED ARE AS FOLLOWS: ELECTRIC DRILL, 1/8” DIAMETER DRILL BIT, AND A #2 PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER. THE HARDWARE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: QUANTITY DESCRIPTION 3 #10 X 5/8” SHEET METAL SCREWS (Part #1320) 1) The center wedge clip located inside the track on the door frame indicates the bottom of the frame. See diagram on the back of this page. It is important that the frame be installed with the correct side up to ensure smooth operation of the doors. 2) Install the frame into the firebox by inserting the black Air Draft Bar (located at the bottom of the enclosure frame) into the crack between the bottom refractory panel and the face of the fireplace (black steel). See diagram on the back of this page. You may need to pry the bottom refractory panel away from the face of the fireplace in order to insert the Air Draft Bar. You may also need to tap down the top left & right corners of the frame in order to fully seat the Air Draft Bar. 3) Push and hold the top of the frame into the fireplace and mark the fireplace (for drilling a pilot hole) through each of the three mounting brackets located at the top of the frame. See diagram located on the back of this page. Drill 1/8” diameter pilot holes at each of the three marks. 4) Install the three #10 x 5/8” sheet metal screws through the mounting brackets (located at the top of the frame) into the pilot holes and tighten. 5) Install the left and right glass doors into the frame. Fold the glass panes together or slightly open with the handles on top. Tilt the doors at an approximate 45 degree angle and insert the bottom pivot pin into the retainer clip located in the bottom corner of the door track. Stand the door up vertically and snap the top pivot pin into the retainer clip located inside the top corner of the door track. Repeat the same procedure for the other pair of doors. 6) The doors are pre-aligned at the factory. If adjustment is needed, each of the four screws securing the retainer clips (located in the four corners of the door tracks) may be loosened in order to shift the doors to the left or right. NOTE: THE GLASS DOOR HANDLES ARE LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE ENCLOSURE, WHEREAS MOST ZERO CLEARANCE ENCLOSURES LOCATE THE HANDLES AT THE BOTTOM.  |
