6.3.2 Replacement
The glass used is a ceramic glass, 5/32" (4 mm) thick, 18
⅜"
x 12 ½
"
(400 mm x 248 mm), tested
to reach temperatures up to 1400º F. If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with one having
the same specification.
To remove or replace the glass
(D)
:
1. Remove the door
(E)
from its hinges and lay it on a
soft, flat surface.
2. Remove the screws
(A)
, the glass retainers
(B)
,
and the metal frames
(C)
.
3. Remove the glass
(D)
. If it is damaged install a new
one in place. The replacement glass must have a
gasket all around (see procedure below).
4. Reinstall the glass, being careful to centre the glass
in the door and not to over-tightening the retaining
screw.
The two main causes of broken door glass are uneven placement in the door and over-
tightening the retaining screws.
6.3.3 Gasket
The glass gasket is flat, adhesive-backed, woven fibreglass. The gasket must be centred on the
edge of the glass.
1. Follow the steps of the previous section to remove the glass.
2. Remove the old gasket and clean the glass thoroughly.
3. Peel back a section of the paper covering the adhesive and place the
gasket on a table with the adhesive side up.
4. Stick the end of the gasket to the middle of one edge, then press the
edge of the glass down onto the gasket, taking care that it is perfectly
centred on the gasket.
5. Peel off more of the backing and rotate the glass. The gasket must not
be stretched during installation.
6. Cut the gasket to the required length. Pinch the gasket onto the glass in
a U-shape, all around the glass.
6.4 Door
In order for the stove to burn at its best efficiency, the door must
provide a perfect seal with the firebox. The tightness of the door
seal can be verified by closing and latching the door on a strip
of paper. The test must be performed all around the door. If the
paper slips out easily anywhere, either adjust the door or replace
the gasket.
