A. Fixed Glass Assembly
WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Handle fixed glass
assembly with care. Inspect the gasket to ensure it is
undamaged and inspect the glass for cracks, chips or
scratches.
• DO NOT strike, slam or scratch glass.
• DO NOT operate fireplace with glass removed, cracked,
broken or scratched.
• Replace as a complete assembly.
Removing Fixed Glass Assembly
• The glass assembly fastens to the fireplace in four places.
The fastening mechanisms are spring-loaded glass
latches. An example of the top glass latch is shown in
Figure 11.1 and an example of the bottom glass latch is
shown in Figure 11.2.
• Once both top latches are disengaged, grab the glass
frame assembly by the sides and tilt it outward and
downward. Lift up slightly to disengage the glass
assembly from the bottom glass latches. See Figure
11.4.
Figure 11.3 Release Glass Latches One at a Time
Figure 11.4 Tilt Glass Down and Lift Up to Disengage Bottom Latch
• To remove glass assembly, release one top glass latch at
a time. Use one hand to support the glass while pulling
the top spring-loaded latch forward with the other hand.
Replacing Fixed Glass Assembly
• Tilt glass assembly toward fireplace and slide glass
assembly downward to engage bottom latches. Verify
bottom latches are fully engaged and then fasten the
two top latches.
• Note that the extended glass latch tabs on the glass
frame are for the bottom glass latches.

G. Ember Placement
WARNING! Risk of Explosion! Follow ember placement
instructions in manual. DO NOT place embers directly over
burner ports. Replace ember material annually. Improperly
placed embers interfere with proper burner operation.
Ember material is shipped with this gas appliance. To place
the ember material:
• Embers CANNOT be placed directly over ports. Care
should be taken not to cover the lighting trail of ports
(from back to front).
• Place dime-size pieces of Glowing Embers® just in
front of the port trail, but not on or in between the ports.
See Figure 11.6 (Escape-I30-F) or Figure 11.7 (Escape-
I35-F). Care should be taken so that the ports are not
covered. Failure to follow this procedure will likely cause
lighting and sooting problems.
• Save the remaining ember materials for use during
appliance servicing. The embers provided should be
enough for 3 to 5 applications.
