Important Information:

Proper clearance is essential when installing ceramic stove glass. Allow at least 1/8" of room for thermal expansion. Insufficient clearance can place stress on the glass as it heats and may result in breakage.

Mounting hardware can also expand when exposed to high temperatures. Do not overtighten screws, clips, or other retaining hardware against the glass.

Ceramic glass should not be used as a substitute for tempered glass on a fireplace door unless the appliance or door is specifically approved for ceramic glass. Do not install ceramic glass in a factory-built or prefab fireplace unless the unit is heater-rated and the manufacturer permits this type of replacement glass.

FAQs:

Q: What temperature can the glass withstand?
A: The supplied specifications state that the ceramic glass withstands temperatures up to 1250°F.

Q: How much expansion clearance should I leave during installation?
A: Allow at least 1/8" of room for thermal expansion.

Q: Should the retaining hardware be tightened firmly against the glass?
A: No. Do not overtighten mounting hardware because metal components expand as they heat and excessive pressure can damage the glass.

Q: Can I use this ceramic glass in a factory-built fireplace?
A: Ceramic glass should never be installed in a factory-built or prefab fireplace unless the unit is heater-rated and the manufacturer approves ceramic glass for that application.

Fit / Measuring / Safety Notes:

• Confirm the stove model and measure the existing glass or required opening before ordering. Model names alone should not replace dimensional verification, particularly when working with older appliances.
• Maintain at least 1/8" of room for thermal expansion when installing the glass. Do not force an oversized panel into the opening, and do not overtighten screws, clips, or retaining hardware.
• Always follow the appliance manufacturer's installation and replacement-glass requirements. Do not substitute ceramic glass for tempered fireplace-door glass unless the appliance or door is specifically approved for ceramic glass.
