To remove or replace the glass (D):
1.
Remove the door from its hinges and lay it on a
soft, flat surface.
2.
Remove the screws (A), the glass retainers (B),
and the metal frames (C).
3.
Remove the glass (D). If it is damaged install a
new one in place. The replacement glass must
have a gasket all around (see procedure below).
4.
Reinstall the glass, being careful to centre the
glass in the door and not to over-tightening the
retaining screw.
The two main causes of broken door glass are uneven placement in the door and over-
tightening the retaining screws.
6.3.3
Gasket
The glass gasket is flat, adhesive-backed, woven fibreglass. The gasket
must be centred on the edge of the glass.
1.
Follow the steps of the previous section to remove the glass.
2.
Remove the old gasket and clean the glass thoroughly.
3.
Peel back a section of the paper covering the adhesive and place the
gasket on a table with the adhesive side up.
4.
Stick the end of the gasket to the middle of one edge, then press the edge
of the glass down onto the gasket, taking care that it is perfectly centred
on the gasket.
5.
Peel off more of the backing and rotate the glass. The gasket must not be
stretched during installation.
6.
Cut the gasket to the required length. Pinch the gasket onto the glass in a
U-shape, all around the glass.
6.4
Door
At the end of each heating season it is recommended to add a high temperature graphite paste
on the threads of the door handle. This paste wil protect the threads from rust and prevent dust
accumulation that can prevent the handle from rotating freely.
Installation and Operation Manual - Matrix 2700 Insert
In order for the insert to burn at its best efficiency, the door must
provide a perfect seal with the firebox. Therefore, the gasket
should be inspected periodically to check for a good seal. The
tightness of the door seal can be verified by closing and latching
the door on a strip of paper. The test must be performed all
around the door. If the paper slips out easily anywhere, either
adjust the door or replace the gasket.
