Replacing the glass gasket and/or the glass of the combustion chamber
It is a good idea to replace the glass gasket when the door gasket is replaced. The gasket is flat,
adhesive-backed, woven fibreglass. Remove the screws (A) and glass retaining clips (B) then
both glass frames (C) that hold the glass to the door frame (E). Lift out the glass (D) and pull off
the old gasket. This is a good time to clean the glass thoroughly.
DOOR GASKET
The gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass. To do this easily, peel back a section of
the paper covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side up. Stick
the end of the gasket to the middle of one edge, then press the edge of the glass down onto the
gasket, taking care that it is perfectly centred on the gasket. Peel off more of the backing and
rotate the glass and press the next section onto the gasket. Do not stretch the gasket as you
place it. Continue until you get to the start and trim the gasket to length. Now pinch the gasket
to the glass in a U shape, all around the glass. Reinstall the glass, being careful to centre the
glass carefully in the door. Do not over-tighten the screws. Note that the two main causes of
broken door glass are uneven placement in the door and over-tightening of retaining screws.
Do not abuse the glass door by striking or
slamming shut. DO NOT USE THE WOOD
FIRE IF THE GLASS IS BROKEN. To change
the
glass,
perform
described above.
