GASKET REPLACEMENT

The Radiance Gas 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.
(Figs. 87 & 88) Remove the old gasket. Use a ra-
zor blade to separate the glass and gasket from the
frame, and to clean the glass of any remaining ce-
ment or bits of 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" (25-50mm). Mark the spot to be cut. Use a utility
knife.

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
ST141
flames periodically to confirm they match Figure 90. The
flames will be blue during the first 15-20 minutes of oper-
ation, and will gradually turn to yellow after that.
Do not use your stove if the flame pattern differs from that
