NOTE: These procedures should be performed
by a qualified individual and in accordance
with any and all federal, state/provincial and
local codes and regulations. When performing
work on an appliance observe all precautions
in the literature, tags and labels attached to the
appliance and other safety precautions that may
apply. When working with electricity and electrical
components, failure to follow precautions could
result in property damage, personal injury or
death.
NOTE: If any of these items are under warranty,
remember that the warranty covers only the cost
of the replacement part. Labor is not covered.
NOTE: Use only genuine Central Boiler parts
and accessories if it ever becomes necessary to
replace any component on the outdoor furnace.
FIREBOX DOOR SEAL
The firebox door seal must be in good condition to ensure
an airtight seal. If the outdoor furnace is operated with
the door open or ajar, the firebox door seal may become
damaged or brittle due to excessive temperatures. If
replacement is necessary, use the following procedure:
WARNING
Remove all wood, coals and ash from the firebox.
1. Using a scraper, remove the firebox door seal on
the inner side of the firebox door and clean any
remaining silicone adhesive from the groove. Any
residue left in the groove will interfere with the new
silicone seal.
2. Cut the end of the new seal at a 45-degree angle as
shown in Fig. 66. Test fit the seal around the groove
to find the correct length. When fitting the seal, do
not stretch the seal in the corners. Press enough of
the seal into the corners to completely fill them.
When the start of the seal is reached, cut the end
of the seal about an inch longer than required, at an
angle that matches the starting end; then remove the
seal from the groove.

3. Apply a liberal amount of silicone sealant into the
entire firebox door seal groove.
4. Starting at the center of the hinge side of the firebox
door, insert the new silicone seal into the groove,
pressing it firmly into the bead of silicone sealant.
Make sure the seal is not stretched as it is pressed
into the corners. Force the seal out to fill in the
corners as shown in Fig. 66.
5. When the seal has been pressed into the groove
all the way around the firebox door, apply a dab
of silicone to the matching angles and press them
together.
6. Scrape the face and surface area of the door frame to
remove any deposits.
7. Close the firebox door. Make sure that pressure is
felt as the latch is closed to ensure the seal is tight
with the door frame.
8. Open the firebox door and check that there is an
impression in the seal from the door frame. This
mark must extend, with no gaps, around the entire
perimeter of the firebox door seal (see Fig. 67). If
it does not, the Cam Loc
need to be adjusted to tighten the firebox door (see
Firebox Door Latch Bearing Adjustment section).

CAUTION
The firebox door seal will be damaged or
destroyed if it is not installed properly.
FIREBOX DOOR LATCH BEARING
ADJUSTMENT
If the firebox door seal has been replaced and it is
not sealing properly, the firebox door may need to be
adjusted to close more tightly. When adjusting the
firebox door, make sure it is not adjusted too tightly
as damage to the firebox door, frame or door seal may
result.
