Installation Notes
-
Barrier required: the fireplace manual says a barrier screen is required to operate the fireplace and is sold separately; follow the instructions that come with the screen.
-
Barrier or door frame: Empire's price list says to choose either the barrier or the door frame with barrier; the decorative door sets need the door frame with barrier.
-
Doors: Empire's 2019 Tahoe brochure says the door frame with barrier screen has hinges to accept an operable door set, and that screens, frames and doors come in matte black only.
-
Fitting the screen: the Premium and Luxury manuals say to remove the top and bottom louvers, release the two glass latches, angle the barrier screen frame so its bracket rests over the glass frame, then engage the two glass latches over the barrier screen and glass frames.
-
Annual check: the manual's annual inspection includes checking the barrier screen for fit and structural integrity.
