Door Seal Replacement & Door Handles - Chesney's Wood Burning and Multi Fuel Stoves User's Installation Manual

8. Door Seal Replacement and Door Handles
Always use gloves when handling ceramic rope.
Apollo and Milan
Remove door from the stove and remove rope seal clamps. Discard old
rope seal and replace with Chesney's rope seal. Do not tighten rope seal
clamps until all bots are in and hand tight, then tighten all bolts.
Freestanding series stoves
Remove door and place face side down on a suitably protected table.
Remove old seal and clean the rope seal channel thoroughly with wire a
brush. Ensure the rope channel is clean and dust free.
Apply a continuous and even bead of glue in the channel. Place the new
ceramic rope onto the glue, being careful not to stretch or twist. Press the
rope firmly into the channel. Remove any excess glue.
Leave for 2-4 hours before refitting the door, allow 24 hours for the glue to
dry.
Door handles
The door handles and mechanism are designed to be adjustable so they
can be wound in or out to achieve a good seal between the door and the
stove body and to get more use from the rope seal. This configuration
means that the stove handle and mechanism are in two parts and are
secured using a grub screw. Throughout use the grub screw will require
tightening from time to time to ensure a firm connection. There is an allen
key supplied with the stove for this purpose. For appliances with the 90
degree handle configuration see notes on page 21.
