DOOR ADJUSTMENT 

In order for your stove to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the 
firebox. Therefore, the gasket should be inspected periodically making sure to obtain an air tight fit. 
Airtightness can be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment. To adjust: 

1.

 

Remove the lock pin (spring pin) by pulling and turning it using pliers. 

2.

 

Turn the handle counter clock wise one turn to increase pressure. 

3.

 

Re-install the lock pin (spring pin) with a small hammer.
