Fiberglass rope replacement
When it is impossible to adjust the door because of the
flattened fiberglass rope, it is the time to change it. When the
rope is damaged, you also have to replace it.
Use a ½ inch (12.7mm) braided round fiberglass rope
(available in some hardware store).
To install the new fiberglass rope, we recommend detaching
the door from the stove. Please see the section « Disassembly
and reassembly of door » in this manual.
Fiberglass rope preparation
1)
Remove the worn fiberglass rope and take care
cleaning the groove of any leftover pieces of fiber or
latex.
2)
Take the frayed end of the fiberglass rope and push
the loose fiber inside the end of the rope to put it
together
3)
Add a small amount of high temperature latex or
silicone at the end of the fiberglass rope to make a
clean end.
4)
Starting from the lower corner near the hinge, put the
fiberglass rope around the groove without giving any
tension and measure the length of the rope.
5)
Add ½ inch to the length measured in step 4 and
repeat the step 2 & 3 for the new rope end.
Fiberglass rope installation
1)
Put high temperature latex inside the clean groove in
order to glue the fiberglass rope.
2)
Starting from the lower corner near the hinge, put the
fiberglass rope into the groove without giving any
tension.
3)
Align the two fiberglass rope ends perpendicularly and
put some high temperature latex in between.
4)
Let dry the high temperature latex for at least 48
hours. Put the door back on the hinges and readjust
the tightness.
