6.4.1 Adjustment
The door 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.

6.4.2 Gasket
It is important to replace the gasket with another having the same diameter and density to
maintain a good seal.
1. Remove the door and place it face-down on something
soft like a cushion of rags or a piece of carpet.
2. Remove the old gasket from the door. Use a screwdriver
to scrape the old gasket adhesive from the door gasket
groove.
3. Apply a bead of approximately 3/16" (5 mm) of high
temperature silicone in the door gasket groove. Starting
from the middle, hinges side, press the gasket into
the groove. The gasket must not be stretched during
installation.
4. Leave about ½À (10 mm) long of the gasket when cutting
and press the end into the groove. Tuck any loose fibers
under the gasket and into the silicone.
5. Close the door. Do not use the stove for 24 hours.
6.5 Exhaust System
Wood smoke can condense inside the chimney, forming an inflammable deposit called creosote.
If creosote builds up in the system, it can ignite when a hot fire is burned in the stove. A very
hot fire can progress to the top of the chimney. Severe chimney fires can damage even the best
chimneys. Smouldering, smoky fires can quickly cause a thick layer of creosote to form. When
the stove is operated properly, the exhaust from the chimney is mostly clear and creosote builds
up more slowly.
