5. Check the gasket seal using a dollar bill. Place
the bill in various locations around the door.
Close the door and remove the bill by pulling it
out. If the bill slides out without resistance, the
seal will leak. If the bill does not slide out, the
door is too tight, and the gasket will wear
quickly. If the test reveals varying results in
different locations – the gasket may not be
installed uniformly, or too much adhesive was
used.
6. First, adjust the gasket as necessary by
reseating it uniformly. If that does not work,
adjust the latch mechanism so it applies more or
less pressure when the door is closed.

EPLACEMENT
:
1. To replace the side door gasket, open the door
and support it so the hinge plate supports no
weight. Remove the three Allen head bolts and
lift the plate out of the way.
a. Do not remove the door! The side door
uses torsion springs to ease closing.
Removing the door could cause
unexpected spring tension release.
2. Pull off the old rope gasket. Carefully remove
any old gasket material and adhesive with a
small screwdriver, or small cold chisel and a
hammer. Clean all gasket channels with a small
wire brush if necessary.
3. Apply a small amount of waterglass (sodium
silicate), or a 1/8 inch bead of an approved
gasket adhesive into the bottom of the entire
gasket groove.
4. Start at the center of the hinge side of the door
and push the new gasket into place uniformly
without stretching or compressing the gasket
material. Pinch the gasket into place as
necessary.
5. Once the gasket is installed, re-install the hinge
plate and close the door immediately to fully
seat the gasket in the channel and ensure
complete adhesion. Waterglass will dry quickly,
and does not require heat to cure. Other
adhesives may need heat to cure – so follow the
product manufacturer’s instructions.

DJUSTMENT
:
(Latch Kit #90-73010)
1. Test gasket seal quality with small latch
adjustments first. Too much pressure makes the
door difficult to open and close and prematurely
wears the gasket.
2. Loosen the setscrew and rotate the handle
assembly to increase or decrease spring
pressure.

Do not operate the stove with a broken door glass.
Do not abuse the front door by striking or slamming.
When necessary, clean the glass with commercial
stove glass cleaners, which are available from your
local dealer. Never attempt to clean the glass while
the fire is burning or while the glass is hot. Remove
deposits by following the instructions provided with
the cleaner. To clean heavier, stubborn deposits,
remove the door from the stove (See door removal
procedures on page 24). Lay the door face down on
a clean, padded workbench or table with the handle
hanging over an edge, apply the cleaner to the glass
and allow it to soak for a few minutes to allow the
cleaner to penetrate any heavy deposits. Wipe the
cleaner off with a soft cloth, or black & white
newsprint.
Important:
scratching or etching the glass will
weaken the integrity of the glass. Do not use a
razor blade, steel wool, or any other abrasive
material to clean the glass. Use a cleaner
specifically manufactured for woodstoves only.
The front door glass is a 5mm ceramic, shock-
resistant glass, made specifically for use in
woodstoves. Do not use any replacement glass
other than the ceramic glass manufactured and
supplied for use by Hearthstone in this woodstove.
Replacement glass is available through your local
dealer.
Replace the door glass immediately if broken or
chipped. Contact your local dealer for replacement
glass. The glass kit includes instructions and
everything needed for the repair. If you replace the
glass yourself, wear work gloves and safety glasses.
