DOOR ADJUSTMENT
In order for your fireplace 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
may be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment. To adjust:
1.
Remove the split pin by pulling and turning
it using pliers.
2.
Turn the handle counter clock wise one turn
to increase pressure. To reduce the
pressure, when installing a new gasket for
example, turn clock wise.
3.
Re-install the split pin with a small hammer.
