DOOR INSTALLATION AND ALIGNMENT
Figure #17: Door Adjustment To install the cast-iron door,
place it on their pintles and make
sure the door closes tightly.
To adjust door positioning
and spacing, loosen the pintle screw
and pivot the pintle until the door is
in the correct position. To tilt the
door, lock in place one of the two
pintles and pivot the other. The door
will tilt to one side or the other
depending on the direction the pintle
is pivoted. For the door to be
straight, both pintles must be aligned
along the same axis.
If the pintles of the door are
misaligned, it will tilt. It is therefore
recommended to align it. Once the
ideal position has been achieved,
lock the pintles in place by
tightening the pintle screws.
Adjust the pressure on the gasket using the centre adjustment screw located at the right of the
combustion chamber. Two more screws are located on the left side to adjust the pressure of the gasket. To
check the pressure applied, place a slip of paper between the door and the face, and pull gently. You should feel
a slight resistance.
GASKET REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the door and lay it on a clean, smooth surface.
2. Remove the old gaskets and glue. Make sure the surface is absolutely clean before applying new glue to
ensure optimal gasket bond.
3. Apply glue in the grooves.
4. Insert the new gaskets.
5. Wait at least four hours before using the fireplace.
