6.0 Maintenance

6.1 Door Latch Adjustment
Over time, as the door gasket becomes compressed, it may
be necessary to adjust the door latch in order to maintain
the integrity of the door seal. To check the seal of the front
door, close and latch the door on a dollar bill and slowly try
to pull the bill free. You should feel resistance as you pull.
If it can be easily removed, the seal is too loose. Follow this
procedure to tighten the latch mechanism.
Tools Required:
• 4 mm hex key
1. Remove the two socket head screws and latch keeper
from the stove. See fig. 19.
2. Remove one of the shim plates from the latch cavity
and re-install the latch keeper. Retain the shim plate(s)
removed for future use.
3. Test the seal integrity using the dollar bill.
The door gasket will compress over time. When the latch
can no longer be tightend by shim removal, install a new
gasket and replace the shim plates.

6.2 Glass Care

Cleaning
On occasion it will be necessary to clean the carbon deposits
and fly ash off of the glass. If these deposits are allowed
to remain on the glass for an extended period of time, the
surface may become etched and cloudy. Any creosote that
might develop on the glass will burn off during the next hot
fire.
Follow this glass cleaning procedure:
1. Glass must be completely cool.
2. Only use a cleaner that is specifically designed for this
purpose. The use of abrasives will damage the glass and
ultimately leave the glass frosted.
3. Rinse and dry glass completely before burning the stove.
Polish with a piece of newspaper.
Caution! Always operate the door slowly and carefully to
avoid cracking or breaking the glass. Never use the door to
push wood into the firebox. If the glass becomes cracked or
broken follow the replacement procedure below.
Never operate the stove with a cracked or broken glass
panel.
