Fitting a New Door Seal
•
Open the door and lift it free of its hinges.
•
Place the door face down on a soft flat surface to protect paintwork and glass.
•
Remove the old door rope and scrape the rope channel free from residual glue.
•
Clean the rope retaining channel with a clean dry cloth, to remove any dust and debris. The use of wax and grease
remover may be necessary if the channel is particularly dirty.
•
Apply a generous bead of high-temp silicone around the retaining channel.
•
Press the new 14mm OD door rope into the rope retaining channel, placing the start-stop joint in the middle of the
door on the hinge side.
•
Re-fit the door to the heater and close the door, to apply pressure to the rope while the silicone cures.
Note:
The door handle may need to be adjusted to allow the door to close completely if previously adjusted to
accommodate an ageing rope.
Leave the door closed for at least 12 hours before lighting the heater, and initially run at a low temperature to allow the
adhesive to fully bond to the door.
Cleaning the Glass
Generally the only time you may need to clean your glass is after a long overnight burn. If you find that you have a wet
sticky black film on your glass (creosote), it is best to burn the heater as normal for a load of wood or two, allowing it to then
extinguish with the upper air slide fully open. This should burn the moisture out of the creosote build up and clean the
majority of it away through the air circulation from the air wash, leaving you with a lighter dry build up of ash on the glass.
Once the door has cooled to a temperature that you can touch it comfortably, use a damp cloth with water or glass
cleaner, wipe the glass clean. You should not need to use a scraper or abrasives to clean the glass, if you have difficulty
getting the glass clean, try using wet ash from the firebox and newspaper to scrub the glass, before wiping it clean with
the damp cloth.
Creosote on the glass is normally a sign that the heater has been shut down too early after loading, or for too long. It can
also be an indicator that you have burnt excessively wet or green wood. Refer to our troubleshooting section for more
information on this.
Important:
Ensure glass cleaner does not come into contact with the paint work.
Replacing the Door Glass
•
Open the door and lift it free of its hinges.
•
Place the door face down on a soft flat surface to protect paintwork and glass.
•
Using an M3 hex key, remove the 4x retaining screws securing the lower air plate assembly. Taking care not to
dislodge the door rope from its channel, flip the plate towards the centre of the door to gain access to the glass
retaining panel. Take note of the 2 lower air slide spacers, set them aside so that they are not lost.
•
Do the same with the 3x retaining screws for the upper air plate assembly. Note that there is only one spacer for
the upper air slide.
•
Using an M3 hex key to remove 2x retaining screws for each panel, remove the upper and lower glass retaining
panels.
•
Remove the door glass from the door, ensuring that the mounting face is clean and free of anything that would
prevent the new glass from sitting in place.
•
Fit new fibreglass tape to the outer edge of the replacement door glass, then sit the glass in position.
•
Re-fit the upper and lower glass retainers, ensuring they are sitting flat and are holding the glass correctly.
•
Ensure the upper and lower air slides are sitting in place properly, and ensure that the air slide spacers are sat back
in place, before sitting the upper and lower air plate assemblies back in position.
•
Secure the upper and lower air plate assemblies, ensuring that they are sitting flat and that the air slides are still
able to move.
•
It may be necessary to apply high temperature silicone underneath the door rope, in any sections where it has
dislodged from the rope channel.
•
Re-fit the door to the heater, ensuring that the door is kept closed long enough for the silicone to cure if needed.
