Adjusting the Damper

To adjust the damper to compensate for compression of the gasket, start by removing the
griddle. Then:
1. Loosen the lock nut in the centre of the damper.
2. Use and Allen wrench to turn the pressure screw about one-half turn clockwise.
3. Test the damper's closing action. Do not over-tighten the screw, as this can cause
binding when the parts expand under heat.
4. When the damper closes smoothly and snugly, tighten the lock nut and replace the
griddle. (Fig. 1)

Adjusting the Positions on the Front Doors

The doors are factory-set to ensure a good seal between them and the stove front. If
necessary you can adjust their position slightly by loosening the bolts that hold them to
the hinge strips on their edges. Loosen the bolts only enough to enable you to nudge
them up or down; do this with the doors fully open to avoid hitting them against the front
of the stove. Re-position the doors as necessary (being sure that the latch engages its
catch properly) and then tighten the bolts. Check the fit with a slip of paper, and adjust
the latch as needed.
