REMOVING THE DOOR

To remove the door:
1.
Open the door all the way.
2.
Lift the door up and over the top end of the vertical
hinge rod.
3.
Lower the door and slide off the bottom end of the
hinge rod.
4.

ADJUSTING THE DOOR LATCH

Over time, the door seal can become compressed,
resulting in a less than adequate seal between the door
and the front edge of the firebox. For example, if the
wood burns unusually fast even with the air slide shut, it
may mean that there is an air leak around the door.
In this situation, the door seal does not necessarily need
replacing — adjustment of the latch can tighten the seal.
To adjust the door latch:
1.
Using the supplied 5mm hex key, loosen the M8
barrel nut.
2.
Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the M8 hex nut
holding the latch to the firebox.
3.
Slide the latch inwards 1-2mm and retighten the
M8 hex nut.
4.
Close the door and test the tightness of the latch.
If too tight or not tight enough, readjust until
adequate latching pressure is achieved.
5.
Tighten M8 barrel nut when finished.
If the door is still not latching adequately – replace the
door seal.
