5.1.2 Door
adjustment
In order for your insert to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal
with the firebox. Therefore, the gasket should be inspected periodically to check for a good
seal. The gasket seal can be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment. To
increase the pressure on the gasket, remove one washer (A). To reduce pressure on the
door, when putting a new door gasket for example, put two washers. To adjust:
1. Unscrew the nut.
2. Remove the door latch and the
key path pin (B).
3. Remove or add one washer
(A) as needed. Keep the
removed washer for future
adjustment.
4. Re-install the key path pin in
the key-way and slide the latch
along it.
5. Secure with the nut.
If you have to change the door
handle, remove the wooden handle
(A) retained by the washer (B) and
the Philips type screw (C). Follow
these steps in reverse to put the new
handle.
