GASKETING

It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which makes your stove door air tight) once a
year, in order to insure good control over the combustion, maximum efficiency and security. To
change the door gasket, simply remove the damaged one. Carefully clean the gasket groove, apply a
high temperature silicone sold for this purpose, and install the new gasket. Use only the genuine
Osburn gasket. You may light up your stove again approximately 24 hours after having completed
this operation.

ASH REMOVAL USING THE ASH DRAWER

C :
AUTION
ASHES CAN START FIRES
IN A COMBUSTIBLE CONTAINER
Whenever the ashes get 3 – 4" (76 – 102 mm) deep in the firebox, they should be emptied into the
ash drawer, using the following instructions:
Make sure the fire is out, and the stove is cold.
Lift the ash dump plug in the center of the firebox by hooking the poker through the loop
on the cover and lifting up.
Push the ashes through the hole and leave an ash bed of approximately 1" deep on the
firebox bottom to help maintain a hot ember bed.
Clear the ashes from the area where the ash dump plug normally sits so that it will
properly seat against the opening edges. Tap it down with your poker to ensure proper
seating.
