DOOR GLASS, REPLACEMENT
( Blaze King recommends your dealer perform this task)
Your BLAZE KING is equipped with a door which uses a strong, heat-resistant ceramic glass intended to
withstand extremely high temperatures and tested for continuous use above 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. However,
this glass can be broken through improper use. If glass replacement becomes necessary, use only 9” x 15” x 5mm
thick
BLAZE KING CERAMIC GLASS
(see
“REPLACEMENT PARTS”
).
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE ANY
OTHER MATERIAL FOR THIS PURPOSE.
WARNING:
BROKEN DOOR GLASS IS SHARP. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION AND PROTECTIVE
GLOVES WHEN HANDLING GLASS. DISCARD THE GLASS IN A CLOSED CONTAINER
INACCESSIBLE TO CHILDREN.
1. Allow the fi re to completely burn out and the stove to cool down.
2. Retain all metal parts for re-installation.
3. Open the door and remove the door gasket, then remove the nuts holding the retainers to the inside of
the door.
4. Remove the damaged glass and the old glass gasket.
5. Th
e replacement glass has the gasket installed on its outer perimeter. Place the glass in the door frame. Be
sure the words “Blaze King” etched in the glass read correctly when the door is closed.
6. Replace the gasket and reinstall the retainers with the proper nuts. (Do not over tighten nuts as studs
may break off )
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
. Use a soft cloth and a
NONABRASIVE
household cleaner. 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.
GASKET INSPECTION
Inspect the door and bypass door gasket for physical deterioration, missing sections or obvious leakage. Th
e
stove front should make a groove in the gasket material - one side of the groove (toward the inside) will oft en be
dark or black, and the other side (toward the outside) should be light or white. Dark smudges on the outside of
the groove may indicate a air leak. If the groove is very shallow or missing, or if there is a heavy ash or creosote
deposit along the bottom edge of the gasket, it may need to be replaced. Frayed or broken gasket material, or a
gasket that is hard and unyielding, will also indicate need for replacement. Any time a piece of gasket is missing
or is broken anywhere, the entire gasket must be replaced.
To check the gasket further, wait until the stove is cooled and insert a piece of paper (a dollar bill will work) into
the door opening and close and latch the door. Obvious resistance should be felt when pulling the paper out
Repeat this check several times around the perimeter of the door.
