10.5 glass and gasket replacement
WARNING
!
•
Make sure that the glass and gasket are fully installed down into the glass retainer. If the glass protrudes too far
out of the retainer, the glass will shatter when the door is closed.
At the end of each burning season inspect the door gasket ensuring that it is not worn or loose. Replace with
proper fi berglass rope. The purpose of door gasketing is to seal the fi rebox. If the doors are not sealed, air leaks
into the fi rebox, creating a quick burning fi re. This situation is not desirable for overnight or extended burns.
Replace cracked or broken glass immediately. When re-installing the glass, be sure that the glass and gasket cre-
ate a solid seal around door frame. Follow the instructions below for glass removal. You may require a fl at tool to
gently press the gasket between the glass and the door.
10.6 care of glass
WARNING
!
•
Do not clean glass when hot! Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean glass.
If the glass is not kept clean, permanent discolouration and/or
blemishes may result. Normally a hot fi re will clean the glass. The
most common reasons for dirty glass include:
•
Not using suffi cient fuel to get the appliance thoroughly hot.
•
Using green or wet wood.
•
Closing the draft so far that there is insuffi cient air for complete
combustion.
If it is necessary to clean the glass, buff lightly with a clean dry cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. Clean the glass
after the fi rst 10 hours of operation with a recommended appliance glass cleaner. Thereafter, clean as required.
The glass is very strong, but do not let burning fuel rest or fall against it and always close the door gently.
Do not operate the appliance with broken glass, as leakage of fl ue gases may result.
Contact your local authorized dealer/distributor for complete cleaning instructions.
