Inspecting the Door

The door must seal against the door seal for your heater to operate correctly.
1.
2.
The door gasket should be
unbroken, have enough
bulge to contact the face of
the unit, and be firmly
attached to the door frame.
The glass gasket should
form an airtight seal
between the glass and the
door frame.
3.

Replacing the Door Gasket

Remove the old gasket (use a screwdriver if necessary - see the illustration below). Apply a line
of gasket cement (available from your dealer) in the groove that follows the perimeter of the
door. Insert the gasket into the groove. Do not stretch the gasket as you place it into the groove.
Cut off any excess gasket when done. Allow 2 hours for the cement to dry. When re-installing
the door, the gasket may need to be flattened by repeatedly opening and closing the door firmly.
The glass is held in place
with the glass retainer
and ten screws

Replacing the Glass or Glass Gasket

Remove the glass retainer by unscrewing the ten screws that hold it in place with a 5/16"
nutdriver (see the illustration above). Carefully remove the glass. Make sure the 7/8" black tape
gasket (new or old) runs along the perimeter of the glass. If using a new gasket, trim off any
excess. Place the glass (new or old) in place so there is a small gap between the edge of the glass
and the door frame. Make sure the gasket is tucked underneath the glass so the glass does not
touch the door frame. Place the glass retainer in place and secure it with the screws removed
earlier. Make sure the white gasket stays in place and seals the window. Tighten the glass
retainer until the gaskets start to flatten.
