5. ADJUSTING THE DOOR LATCH
Over time, the door seal can become
compressed, resulting in a less than adequate
seal between the door and the front edge of the
firebox. For example, if the wood burns unusually
fast even with the air slide shut, it may mean that
there is an air leak around the door.
In this situation, the door seal does not necessarily
need replacing — adjustment of the door latch
can tighten the seal.
To adjust the door latch:
1.
Using the supplied 5mm hex key, loosen the
M8 barrel nut.
2.
Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the M8
hex nut holding the latch to the firebox.
3.
Slide the latch inwards 1-2mm and retighten
the M8 hex nut.
4.
Close the door and test the tightness of
the latch. If too tight or not tight enough,
readjust until adequate latching pressure is
achieved.
5.
Tighten M8 barrel nut when finished.
If the door is still not latching adequately –
replace the door seal.

6. FITTING A NEW DOOR SEAL
This task may be easier with the door removed
from the heater and laid flat on a workbench.
1.
Remove any old seal from the door.
2.
Clean out the groove in the door that the
seal was bedded in using a flat-end screw
driver or equivalent.
3.
Run a thin bead of clear roof and gutter
silicone along the groove.
4.
Starting at one end, press the new door seal
into the groove on the door.
5.
Refit the door if it has been removed.
