Destination 2.3 Insert Installation and Operation Manual
5.1.2 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 increase the pressure
on the gasket, remove one washer (B). To reduce pressure on the door, when putting a new door
gasket for example, put two washers. To adjust:
1. Unscrew the two screws (A) and remove/add one spacer (B).
2. Reinstall the latch with the screws (A).
5.1.3 Replacing the Door Gasket
It is important to maintain the gasket in good condition. After a year or more of use, the door gasket
will compress and become hard, which may allow air to leak past it. You can test the condition of
the door gasket by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper. Test all around the door. If the
paper slips out easily anywhere, it is time to replace the gasket.
Use the correct replacement gasket that you can purchase from your retailer. The diameter and
density of the gasket is important to getting a good seal.
Place the door face-down on something soft like a cushion of rags or piece of carpet. Remove the
old gasket from the door by pulling and prying it out with an old screw driver. Then use the
screwdriver to scrape the old gasket adhesive from the door. Now run a 1/4” (6 mm) bead of high
temperature silicone in the door gasket groove. Starting from the middle of the hinge side, press
the gasket into the groove. Do not stretch the gasket as you place it. Leave the gasket about 1/2”
long when you cut it and press the end into the groove. Tuck any loose fibres under the gasket and
into the silicone. Close the door and do not use the insert for 24 hours.
