Sealing the glass
A tube of silicone sealant is supplied with the fireplace for application to all glass-to-glass connections on both sides
of the glass . The purpose of the silicone is to create a gasket, not to "glue" the glass panels together .

•
When placing glass panels, ensure that the glass
is fully in place and that the silicone fills the
space between the glass panels . Place the front
or center panel in place first and then slide the
side panel into place so that the silicone edge
touches the glass edge .
•
After new silicone is applied, cure time is 24
hours before operation of the fireplace .
•
If silicone needs to be reapplied, high-
temperature RTV clear silicone, rated for
sustained exposure to 500 °F / 260 °C or higher
is required (Rutland 500ºF RTV High Heat Clear
Silicone Sealant is recommended .)
•
Re-apply high-temperature RTV clear silicone
only if the original silicone is damaged .
•
Do not use silicone to seal the glass after it is in
place .
•
Always use appropriate materials and cleaning
agents to clean glass .
