5.1.2 Door Adjustment
In order for your stove 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.
3.
Re-install the split pin with a small hammer.
5.1.3 Replacing the Door Gasket
It is important to maintain the gasket in good condition. After a year or more of use, the door
gasket will compress and become hard, which may allow air to leak past it. You can test the
condition of the door gasket by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper. Test all
around the door. If the paper slips out easily anywhere, it is time to replace the gasket.
Use the correct replacement gasket that you can purchase from your retailer. The diameter
and density of the gasket is important to getting a good seal.
Place the door face-down on something soft like a cushion of rags or piece of carpet.
Remove the old gasket from the door by pulling and prying it out with an old screw driver.
Then use the screwdriver to scrape the old gasket adhesive from the door. Now run a 1/4”
(6 mm) bead of high temperature silicone in the door gasket groove. Starting from the middle
of the hinge side, press the gasket into the groove. Do not stretch the gasket as you place
it. Leave the gasket about 1/2” long when you cut it and press the end into the groove. Tuck
any loose fibres under the gasket and into the silicone. Close the door and do not use the
insert for 24 hours.
