6.2.2 Replacement
The glass used is a ceramic glass, 5/32" (4 mm) thick tested to reach temperatures up to
1400º F. If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with one having the same specification.
Tempered glass or ordinary glass will not withstand the high temperatures of this unit.
To remove or replace the glass (D):
1. Remove the door from its hinges and lay it on
a soft, flat surface.
2. Remove the screws (A), the glass retainers
(B), and the metal frames (C).
3. Remove the glass (D). If it is damaged install
a new one in place. The replacement glass
must have a gasket all around (see procedure
below).
4. Reinstall the glass, being careful to centre the
glass in the door and not to over-tightening
the retaining screw.
The two main causes of broken door glass are uneven placement in the door and over-
tightening the retaining screws.
6.2.3 Gasket
The glass gasket is flat, adhesive-backed, woven fibreglass. The gasket must be centred on the
edge of the glass.
1. Follow the steps of the previous section to remove
the glass.
2. Remove the old gasket and clean the glass
thoroughly.
3. Peel back a section of the paper covering the
adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the
adhesive side up.
4. 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.
5. Peel off more of the backing and rotate the glass.
The gasket must not be stretched during installation.
6. Cut the gasket to the required length.
7. Pinch the gasket onto the glass in a U shape, all around the glass.
