Osburn Matrix Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual

The gasket must be centered on the edge of the glass. To do this easily, peel back a section of the

paper covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side up. 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 centered on the gasket. Peel off more of the backing and

rotate the glass and press the next section onto the gasket. Do not stretch the gasket as you place

it. Continue until you get to the start and trim the gasket to length. Now pinch the gasket to the

glass in a U shape, all around the glass. Reinstall the glass, being careful to centre the glass

carefully in the door. Do not over-tighten the screws. Note that the two main causes of broken

door glass are uneven placement in the door and over-tightening of retaining screws.

Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the wood inbuilt if the

glass is broken. To change the glass, perform the same operation described above.

5.1.5 CLEANING AND PAINTING THE WOOD INBUILT

Do not attempt to clean or paint the wood inbuilt when the unit is hot. Painted surfaces can be

wiped down with a damp cloth. Plated surfaces may be scratched by abrasive cleaners. To

maintain the finish at its original brilliance, use only a damp soft cloth to clean plated surfaces.

If the paint becomes scratched or damaged, you can give your wood inbuilt a brand new look by

repainting it with heat-resistant paint. Before painting, roughen the surface with fine sand paper,

wipe it down to remove dust, and apply two thin coats of paint. For best results, use the same

paint that was originally used on the wood inbuilt, which is available in spray cans. See your dealer

for details.

Wood smoke can condense inside the flue and flue system, forming a combustible deposit called

creosote. If creosote is allowed to build up in the flue system it can ignite when a hot fire is burned

in the wood inbuilt and a very hot fire can progress to the top of the flue system. Severe flue

system fires can damage even the best flue systems. Smouldering, smoky fires can quickly cause a

thick layer of creosote to form. When you avoid smouldering so the exhaust from the flue system
