Installation and operation manual - Atlas woodburning cookstove
ENGLISH
Never use an abrasive cleaner on the window. Do not clean the window when it’s hot. Do not
force, hit, slam, or do anything that could weaken the glass door. Do not use the cookstove if
the window is missing, cracked, or broken.
5.5.1 Replacing the Glass Door and the Glass Gasket
The glass used in the this cookstove is 4 mm thick, and was tested to reach temperatures up to
1400º F. It has the following dimensions :
− Oven (W x H): 20" x 13 ⅛"
− Combustion chamber (W x H): 20" x 16"
If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with one having the same specification. Contact your
dealer to obtain a genuine replacement part.
Tempered glass or ordinary glass will not withstand the high temperatures of the
cookstove.
To replace the glass, follow the steps below :
1. Remove the door from its hinges and lay it facing down on a soft
surface such as a cloth or a carpet.
2. Remove the screws that holds the brackets in place.
3. Remove the glass.
4. Install the gasket all aroung the new glass (see image).
5. Reinstall the new glass.
5.5.2 Replacing the Door Gasket
To maintain optimal performance, the door
should always be perfectly sealed with the
combustion chamber. The gasket must be
inspected periodically to get a tight seal.
With time, the door gasket will compress and
harden which will allow air to infiltrate. You can
test the condition of the gasket by closing and
locking the door on a piece of paper. Check
the periphery of the door. If the paper slides
easily at any place around the door, it is time
to change the gasket.
Figure 7: Verifying the door seal
The right diameter and density of the gasket are important to maintain a tight seal. Refer to a
dealer for a genuine replacement part. See section "13. Exploded View and Parts List" for more
details.
Put the door facing down on a soft surface such as a cloth or a carpet. Remove the gasket
and use a screwdriver to scrape away the old adhesive. Apply high temperature sealant in the
groove of the gasket. Push the gasket into the groove. Do not stretch the gasket while installing.
Keep approximately ½ inch longer when cutting and then push it into the groove. Push away the
exceeding fibres under the gasket. Close the door and do not use the cookstove for 24 hours.
