Replacing The Glass Gasket And/Or The Glass - Enerzone Solution 1.6 AGENCY PHASE II CERTIFIED WOOD Installation And Operation Manual

Place the door face-down on something soft like a cushion of rags or piece of carpet. Remove the
old gasket from the door by pulling and prying it out with an old screw driver. Then use the
screwdriver to scrape the old gasket adhesive from the door. Now run a 1/4" (6 mm) bead of high
temperature silicone in the door gasket groove. Starting from the middle of the hinge side, press
the gasket into the groove. Do not stretch the gasket as you place it. Leave the gasket about 1/2"
long when you cut it and press the end into the groove. Tuck any loose fibres under the gasket and
into the silicone. Close the door and do not use the stove for 24 hours.

5.1.4 Replacing the Glass Gasket and/or the Glass

It is a good idea to replace the glass gasket when the door gasket is replaced. The gasket is flat,
adhesive-backed, woven fibreglass. Remove the glass retaining screws (A) and clips (B) then both
metal frames (C) that hold the glass to the door frame (E). Lift out the glass (D) and pull off the old
gasket. This is a good time to clean the glass thoroughly.
The gasket must be centred 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 centred 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.
