covering the gasket adhesive. Center the gasket on the edge
of the glass so that when folded and glued, the gasket is equal
on both sides. Do not stretch the gasket during installation.
Remove a majority of the paper, turn the glass to facilitate and

starting point, cut the gasket so that the ends overlap by about
1/2" (13 mm).

glass retainers (C) taking care not to over tighten the screws (B). Note that the two main

10.1.5 Cleaning and painting the furnace
Do not attempt to clean or paint the furnace when the unit is hot. Painted surfaces can
be wiped down with a damp cloth. Plated or enameled surfaces may be scratched by
abrasive cleaners. To maintain the finish at its original brilliance, use only a damp soft cloth
to clean plated or enameled surfaces.
If the paint becomes scratched or damaged, you can give your wood furnace a brand-new
look by repainting it with heat-resistant or enamel finish paint. Before painting, roughen the
furnace.
