Osburn 1600 Installation and Operation Manual

If you do get brown stains on the glass you can remove them with special cleaners for wood stove
glass doors.
Do not use abrasives to clean your stove’s door glass.
The deposits that form on the glass are the best indication of the quality of your fuel and how well
you are doing in operating the stove. Your goal should be clear glass with no brown stains. If you
continue to see brown stains on the glass, something about your fuel and operating procedure
needs to be changed. Stains on the glass indicate incomplete combustion of the wood, which also
means more smoke emissions and faster formation of creosote in the chimney.
If you see brown streaks coming from the edge of the glass, it is time to replace the gasket around
the glass. Visit your stove retailer to get the self-adhesive glass gasket and follow the instructions
below for installation.

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 adjust:
1.
Remove the lock pin (spring pin) by pulling and turning it using pliers ("wise grip").
2.
Turn the handle counter clock wise one turn to increase pressure.
3.
Re-install the lock pin (spring pin) with a small hammer.
