Fire door seal
The rope seal around the edges of the main fire door should also be checked.
Look for signs of fraying, peeling away or the ends not meeting. If the rope is
unable to create a good seal with the stove body it should be repaired/replaced.
A poor seal will decrease your ability to control the burn rate and its efficiency
whilst leading to an increase in heat lost through the flue.
11.5
Cracked glass
It is not recommended to operate the stove with cracked glass; this can lead
to over firing due to air leaking into the firebox and it may fail completely leading
to personal injury or a fire. You should discontinue use of your stove until it has
been repaired. You can source replacement glass kits from your stove dealer or
online at www.aradastoves.com
