Side Door Handle Operation; Front Door Seal - Heat & Glo CURVE-100S-HS Owner's Manual

I. Side Door Handle Operation
(Fig. 12.1)
To open the front door, pull the lever located on the
blower right side of the appliance (be sure to wear the
glove provided if the appliance is hot). Carefully swing the
door open from right to left. To close the door swing it shut
from left to right and close by pushing the handle from front
to back. When securing the front door closed, make sure
both the top and bottom hooks engage the pins on the right
side of the door.
J. Front Door Seal
The front door has a non-combustible rope which creates
a tight seal for the firebox. The first time you open the
front door and close it, the gasket may be stiff and the door
difficult to close.
Following the first fire, the gasket will relax which will
allow the door to be closed easily for normal use which
provides a tight seal. This seal is critical for proper air
regulation in the firebox for safe and efficient burn. Though

this material is a high quality material specifically designed
for wood burning appliances, it is subject to normal wear
and tear and should be replaced if burn times are reduced
or there is concern of leakage.
The seal is subject to damage from excessive cleaning
or by debris being closed in the door. If there is a concern
of leakage, use a thin piece of paper, place against the
gasket in the area of concern, close the door and latch
shut, then gently tug on the paper. If the paper comes
right out without any resistance, the seal should be
replaced.
