2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual
5.1.2 DOOR ADJUSTMENT
In order for your 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 gasket
seal may be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment. To adjust:
1. Remove the split pin by pulling and turning it using pliers.
2. Turn the handle counter clock wise one turn to increase pressure.
3. Re‐install the split pin with a small hammer.
5.1.3 REPLACING THE DOOR GASKET
It is important to maintain the gasket in good condition. After a year or more of use, the door
gasket will compress and become hard, which may allow air to leak past it. You can test the
condition of the door gasket by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper. Test all around
the door. If the paper slips out easily anywhere, it is time to replace the gasket.
Use the correct replacement gasket that you can purchase from your retailer. The diameter and
density of the gasket is important to getting a good seal.
