IR LEAK

ONTINUED
)
The door gasket should be unbroken, have
enough bulge to contact the face of the unit,
and be firmly attached to the door frame.
The glass gasket should form
an airtight seal between the
glass and the door frame.
Check the glass for any cracking.
Air leaks detected along the top, bottom or right side of the door indicate a worn or flattened gasket. Either replace
the gasket or "loft up" the gasket so it seals against the face of the stove.
Air leaks detected around the ashpan indicate a loose ashpan latch or worn gasket. If the ashpan handle does not
have any resistance when it is twisted to secure the ashpan, the latch will need to be tightened (see the instructions
below).

Pawl
To tighten the pawl,
use a pair of pliers
to bend the latch
forward (place a rag
against the front of
the ashpan to
prevent scraping).
For instructions on repairing or replacing door components,
see the section "Door Diagnostics".
