Maintaining Door Gasket; Adjusting The Door; Verifying The Door Seal - Osburn 2500 (OP00025) Manuel Du Propriétaire

Maintaining Door Gasket

The door gasket must be kept in good condition. After a while, the gasket wears out and compresses.
An adjustment of the door may then be necessary (see section «Adjusting the door»). If door adjustment
is not sufficient, the door gasket must be replaced with an original gasket.
If the stove door does not close tightly, it will be difficult to keep the glass clean and the flue gases
could leak into the room.

Adjusting the Door

In order to achieve optimal performance, the door must be completely sealed with the combustion
chamber. The gasket must therefore be inspected periodically in order to obtain an airtight fit. The
sealing can be improved with a simple adjustment of the latch mechanism.
Remove the retaining pin by pulling and turning with a pair of pliers. Turn the handle one turn
counterclockwise to increase the pressure between the door frame and the stove structure. Reinstall
the retaining pin using a hammer.

Verifying the Door Seal

Test the door seal by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper. Test all around the door. The
paper should not slip out easily. If it does, see the maintenance section in the operation manual.
