6.3.3 Gasket
6.3.4
The glass gasket is flat, adhesive-backed, woven fibreglass. The gasket must be centred
on the edge of the glass.
1. Follow the steps of the previous section to remove the glass.
2. Remove the old gasket and clean the glass thoroughly.
3. Peel back a section of the paper covering the adhesive and place the
gasket on a table with the adhesive side up.
4. Stick the end of the gasket to the middle of one edge, then press the
edge of the glass down onto the gasket, taking care that it is perfectly
centred on the gasket.
5. Peel off more of the backing and rotate the glass. The gasket must
not be stretched during installation.
6. Cut the gasket to the required length.
7. Pinch the gasket onto the glass in a U shape, all around the glass.
6.4 Door
In order for the stove to burn at its best efficiency, the door must
provide a perfect seal with the firebox. The tightness of the door
seal can be verified by closing and latching the door on a strip
of paper. The test must be performed all around the door. If the
paper slips out easily anywhere, either adjust the door or replace
the gasket.
6.4.1 Adjustment
The gasket seal may be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment:
1. Remove the split pin by pulling and turning it using pliers.
2. Turn the handle one counterclockwise turn to increase pressure.
3. Reinstall the split pin with a small hammer.
