Replacing Door Gasket

To maintain optimal performance, the door
should always be perfectly sealed with the
combustion chamber. The gasket must be
inspected periodically to get a tight seal.
With time, the door gasket will compress
and harden which will allow air to infiltrate.
You can test the condition of the gasket by
closing and locking the door on a piece of
paper. Check the periphery of the door. If
the paper slides easily at any place around
the door, it is time to change the gasket.
Use the right gasket that you will find at the
dealer. The right diameter and density of the
gasket are important so that the seal is tight.
Put the door facing down on a soft surface such as a cloth or a carpet. Remove the gasket and
use a screwdriver to scrape the old adhesive. Apply ½ inch (12 mm) high temperature sealant in the
groove of the gasket. Push the gasket into the groove. Do not stretch the gasket while installing. Keep
approximately ½ inch longer when cutting and then push it into the groove. Push away the exceeding
fibres under the gasket. Close the door and do not use the cooking stove for 24 hours.
