5.1.6 Replacing the Glass Gasket and/or the
Glass
It is a good idea to replace the glass gasket
when the door gasket is replaced. The gasket is
flat,
adhesive-backed, woven fibreglass.
Remove the glass retaining screws (D) and the
metal frames (C) that hold the glass (E) to the
door frame (F). Lift out the glass (E) and pull off
the old gasket. Do the same for the other door.
This is a good time to clean the glass
thoroughly.
The gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass. To do this easily, peel back a section of the paper
covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side up. Stick the end of the gasket
to the middle of one edge, then press the edge of the glass down onto the gasket, taking care that it is
perfectly centred on the gasket. Peel off more of the backing and rotate the glass and press the next section
onto the gasket. Do not stretch the gasket as you place it. Continue until you cover the three sides and trim
the gasket to length. Now pinch the gasket to the glass in a U shape, all around the glass. Reinstall the glass,
being careful to centre the glass carefully in the door. Do not over-tighten the screws. Note that the two
main causes of broken door glass are uneven placement in the door and over-tightening of retaining
screws.

Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the fireplace if the glass is broken. To
change the glass, perform the same operation described above.
Both arched glasses used in the HE200 are 5 mm thick of dimension: 10 11/16’’ width, 12 7/8’’ minimum
height , 13 3/4’’ maximum height and tested to reach temperatures up to 1400º F. If the glass breaks, it
must be replaced with one having the same specification. Contact your VENTIS dealer to obtain a genuine
replacement part (see “replacement parts”, in appendix to get the proper part number).
WARNING: TEMPERED GLASS OR ORDINARY GLASS WILL NOT WITHSTAND THE HIGH TEMPERATURES OF
THE HE200.
