DOOR GLASS GASKET INSPECTION
When the stove is cold, hold the glass by placing the palm of each hand on either side of the glass. Press fi rmly
and try to move the glass. If the glass moves the door glass retainers may need to be tightened or the door glass
gasket may need to be replaced.
1. Inspect the door glass gasket. If the gasket is frayed or missing sections replace the gasket.
2. Inspect the glass retainers and ensure the screws holding the retainers in place are tight. Hand tighten
plus 1/4 turn. Do not over tighten.
DOOR GLASS GASKET REPLACEMENT
BLAZE KING RECOMMENDS YOUR DEALER PERFORM THIS TASK
1. You will require Blaze King glass gasket and Blaze King door gasket. Please see your Blaze King dealer.

3. Starting at the corner opposite of the “Blaze King” logo, carefully wrap the gasket around the edges,
pressing fi rmly onto the sides of the glass with the
gasket centered on the edge. Finish the wrapping
with a 1/2” overlap. Ensure the thickness of the
gasket remains consistent and uniform.
4. Install glass with the “Blaze King” logo to the lower
left corner of the door. Install the glass retainers with
original fasteners. Ensure the glass is parallel to the
frame and tighten the fasteners evenly.

MAINTENANCE cont.
DOOR GLASS, CLEANING
Th
e best way to keep the glass clean is to leave the stove on high burn for a period of time aft er each reloading
Th
e moisture which is driven from a new load of wood contributes much of the creosote on the inside of the
glass. Removing that moisture at the beginning of the burn cycle helps to keep the glass clean. Leaving the
thermostat on a higher setting for 30 minutes to an hour before turning to low for an overnight burn will also
help. Heavier deposits may require hand cleaning. Manual glass cleaning should be done when the stove and
glass are cool.
DO NOT CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT
.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive
cleaners to clean the glass
. Use a soft cloth. Aft er using any cleaner, thoroughly rinse the glass with water
to remove any deposits left by the cleaner. Failure to remove all traces of glass cleaner will result in the glass
cleaner residue baking on. Th
is residue may be very diffi
cult to remove.
