REPLACING THE ASH PLATE
The ash plate acts to protect the front of the firebox below
the door opening from the hot coal bed and fire.
Over time, this may burn through in which case it should be
replaced to ensure the longevity of the firebox.
Clear ash away from the base of the ash plate. Remove the old
ash plate and replace with a new one. When positioning the
new ash plate, ensure that the front top edge is flush against
the inside edge of the firebox beneath the door

ADJUSTING THE DOOR
If the door does not close firmly, the latch can be adjusted.
The latch is fastened onto the door with two removable
washers. Use a socket wrench to undo the M12 nut, then
remove one of the washers directly beneath the nut. Securely
fasten latch assembly again.
Close the door with the door handle to test for any
improvement. If no improvement, remove second washer.

REPLACING DOOR GLASS
This task may be easier with the door removed from the
appliance and laid horizontally on a work-bench.
To replace the door glass:
1)
Two stainless steel strips hold the glass in place. Remove
the four screws from the stainless steel strips with a
3mm hex key.
2)
Take out the glass, and check if the grey rope beneath
needs replacing. If so, replace this rope as well.
3)
Position the new glass on top of the grey rope and re-fit
the stainless steel strips and screws.
4)
Take extra care not to over-tighten the screws, otherwise
the glass will crack when the heater gets hot and the
door expands.
5)
Dispose of the old glass in a responsible manner.

REPLACING THE DOOR SEAL
This task may be easier with the door removed from the
appliance and laid horizontally on a work-bench.
1)
Remove any remains of the old seal from the door.
2)
Clean out the groove in the door that the seal was
bedded in, using a flat head 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.
