Glass Replacement
Replace glass only with Hearth & Home Technologies
approved parts. Refer to the "Replacement Parts" section
of this manual. Refer to Figure 59 and previous instructions
for removal of the damaged glass frame.
Figure 59 - Release the latches to release the glass frame.
Gasket Replacement
The heater uses a 'tadpole' type gasket to seal between the
glass panel and the frame. In time, this gasket can become
brittle and compressed and should be replaced. New gasket
is available from your dealer.
Shut off the gas supply and allow the stove to cool. Wear
safety goggles and a dust mask.
1. Remove the Front, Glass Frame and Glass Panel.
(Figures 59 & 60) Remove the old gasket. Use a razor
ST208
blade to separate the glass and gasket from the frame,
glass swivel latch
and to clean the glass of any remaining cement or bits of
12/99
gasket. Use a cold chisel if necessary.
2. Determine the correct length of gasket by laying it out
around the edge of the glass. Allow an extra 1 - 2" (25-50
mm). Mark the spot to be cut. Use a utility knife.
3. Starting on a long edge, remove about 6" of the protective
paper strip and apply the flat adhesive face of the gasket
around the outside-facing edge of the panel. Continue
around the panel, applying a bout 6" at a time and being
careful to not stretch the material. Do not overlap the
gasket ends. (Figure 60)
4. Apply a thin bead of high temperature silicone rubber
sealant along the inside corner of the glass frame, all
around the perimeter. Place the flat gasketed side of the
glass panel back into the steel frame. Pinch the rounded
inside-facing gasket material to bulk it up.
5. Replace the glass frame and front panel as previously
described.

the glass.

Inspect the Vent System Annually
Have the vent system inspected annually by a qualified
technician. Shut off the main gas supply before inspecting
the system. Both the inner exhaust pipe and the outer
combustion supply pipe must be checked to confirm that
they are unblocked and in good condition.
Check the Gas Flame Regularly
To ensure that the stove is operating properly, check the
flames periodically to confirms they match Figure 60.
The flames will be blue during the first 15-20 minutes of
operation, and will gradually turn to yellow after that.
Do not use your stove if the flame pattern differs from that
shown here. Contact your dealer or a qualified technician
for help.
Stove Disassembly
If there is ever a need to remove the firebox assembly from
the stove shell, support the firebox with solid stands about
6" (150 mm) tall under the left and right outer edges of the
firebox base. Do not set the firebox assembly directly on the
floor; this can damage the control valve and/or the gas lines
from the valve to the firebox.
Before removing the firebox from the shell, disconnect
the on/off switch wires from the valve. If the assembly
includes the optional fan, disconnect the fan rheostat. If
the installation includes a wall thermostat, disconnect the
thermostat leads from valve.
Disconnection and reconnection to the gas line should only
be done by a qualified gas service technician.
Upon reinstallation, the vent system must be sealed to the
firebox as shown in the installation section. Also be sure the
logs are placed in the firebox correctly, as shown in Figures
34 & 35.
