Gaskets; Glass - HearthStone Tribute 8040 Owner's Manual

ASKETS
Gasket material should normally be replaced every
two to three seasons, depending on stove use. If
the door seal is loose, a new gasket will assure a
tight seal and improved stove performance. Contact
your dealer for a gasket kit that includes instructions
and gaskets for your stove.
The procedure for replacing gaskets on the glass is
reviewed on page 23.
To replace door gaskets, first remove the old
gaskets with a utility or putty knife. Clean all gasket
channels with a wire brush. Sparingly apply gasket
glue (sodium silicate) to the channels and push the
new gasket into place without stretching the gasket
material. Too much glue will saturate, and harden
the gaskets. The door should be shut immediately to
fully press the gasket into place and assure a
positive seal.
Order gasket kit 90-58400 when replacing your

gaskets.

LASS
Do not operate the stove with a broken door glass.
Do not abuse the front door by striking or slamming.
When necessary, clean the glass with low alkaline
content commercial stove
standard window cleaners. Never attempt to clean
the glass while the fire is burning or when the glass
is hot. Most deposits are easily cleaned by following
the instructions provided with the cleaner. To clean
heavier deposits, open the door and lift it straight up
and off the stove with the hinge pins remaining in the
door (take care to save hinge pins and any washers
for reuse). Lay the door face down on a workbench
or table, with the handle hanging off the edge so it
will lay flat. Apply the cleaner to the glass and allow
it to soak for a few minutes. By laying the door flat, it
will allow the cleaner to penetrate rather than run off
the surface of the glass. Wipe the cleaner off with a
soft cloth, or black & white newsprint.
Important: scratching or etching the glass will
weaken the integrity of the glass. Do not use a
razor blade, steel wool, or any other abrasive
material to clean the glass. Use low alkaline
content cleaners, or dry white ashes only.
The front door glass is a ceramic, shock-resistant
material, made specifically for use in woodstoves.
Do not use any replacement glass other than the
5mm thick ceramic glass manufactured and supplied
for use in this woodstove. Replacement glass is
available through your local dealer.
