MAINTENANCE
A qualified service agency should conduct an annual inspection and maintenance of your GABO including
the overall installation and venting to keep it running safely. The following procedures should be per-
formed only by a qualified service person. The gas supply should be turned off and the stove should be
completely cool whenever a maintenance procedure is performed. All parts of the appliance that are removed for
servicing must be replaced prior to operation.
WARNING: Do not operate the appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or broken.
Replacement of the glass should be done by a qualified service person.
WARNING: Use only door assembly, P/N 8303567 which includes the glass panel, frame and gasket.
Do not use substitute materials. Do not strike or slam the glass front.
REPLACING THE GLASS
The glass mounting system consists of the glass panel, special glass gasket and the metal glass frame.
Should the glass need to be replaced, you must replace the entire glass/glass frame assembly that can be ob-
tained from your authorized RAIS dealer. Use the following procedure and refer to the illustrations on
pages 14 and 17 of this manual.
1. Turn the stove completely off and allow it to cool completely.
2. Remove the Stove Front. See instructions on page 14.
3. If the glass is broken, be sure to wear gloves and eye protection.
4. Unlatch the two glass frame latches by pulling up and forward on the latch finger handles. Disengage
the latch rods from the slots in the glass frame. This will allow the glass frame to tip slightly forward.
The glass may be loose in the frame, so it is very important to support both the glass and the frame
when handling. Place your thumbs on the outside of the glass frame and wrap your fingers around the
frame and onto the glass. Squeeze the frame and glass while moving. Carefully lift the glass frame and
glass up and off the stove. Set the glass and frame aside on a padded surface. If the glass is broken, do
this over spread out newspaper to catch all loose material. Wrap the old glass frame, glass and gasket in
several layers of newspaper and discard.
Installing the replacement glass/glass frame assembly.
1. Unpack the new glass/glass frame assembly taking care when handling.
2. Carefully pick up the glass and glass frame assembly by grasping the sides of the frame and using your
thumbs and fingers to hold the glass in place within the gasket and frame.
3. With the glass frame (and glass) at a slight angle (leaving room for your fingers between the frame and
the firebox) insert the bottom edge of the frame into the frame retainer located on the bottom front of
the firebox. Take care to center the frame from left to right. Once the bottom edge is in place, move
your fingers out of the way and press the top of the frame against the firebox while pushing down to be
sure the frame is fully engaged in the frame retainer. Hold the frame in place with one hand and engage
the two glass frame latch rods.
4. Push the latch handles back and down until the handles are parallel with the top of the firebox.
5. Replace the Stove Front. See instructions on page 20.
CLEANING THE GLASS
WARNING: Never clean the glass while it is hot. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaners containing
ammonia.
NOTE: A micro-fiber cleaning cloth and plain water is recommended by the glass manufacturer.
