3.3.2 Door fibre rope seals.
See figure 7
The fibre rope seals in the door will wear out over time and should be replaced as required and
renewed at least annually by an approved and competent stove installer such as Hetas registered
(England & Wales) or equivalent for other nations, in order to prevent runaway combustion.
Remove the stove door by removing the 4 screws retaining the hinges to the door and place
face down onto a soft sound surface so as not to damage the door or glass.
Remove the old fibre rope seals and scrape old glue from the locating grooves.
Clean the locating groove with a clean, dry cloth to remove all old dust and debris. Squeeze a
generous bead of fresh stove rope seal glue into the rope locating groove. Press the new fibre
rope seal into the locating groove, noting the joint positions in fig 7. Refit door and close to
apply pressure to new rope. Leave the door closed for at least 12 hours before lighting the
appliance and run at a low temperature for approximately one day. Also refer to the stove rope
glue manufacturer’s instructions. This allows the adhesive to fully bond to the seal.
Using the appliance with a damaged door seal can cause dangerous fumes to enter the room, or
the appliance to over fire resulting in damage
