4. Care and Cleaning of Plated Surfaces
5. Door and Door Gasket
Periodically check the door gasket for proper seal. As the gasket
compresses or “seats” during use, it may become necessary to
adjust or tighten the door latch.
To Adjust or Tighten Door Latch
Remove spacing washers shown in Figure 4.2. At least one
spacing washer and the black washer must be left in place.
OR
Replace the gasket material. Wear or damage to the gasket
material can cause air leakage into the rebox resulting in
overring and loss of efciency.
A replacement gasket is available from your dealer.

Frequency: As necessary

Task: See the following instructions.
• Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight tting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible oor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending nal
disposal.
• If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or
otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in
the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.

3. Glass Cleaning
Frequency: As necessary
By: Homeowner
Task: See the following instructions.
Clean glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Abrasive
cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack. If the
deposits on the glass are not very heavy, normal glass
cleaners work well. Heavier deposits may be removed
by using a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or by using
a commercially available oven cleaner. After using an
oven cleaner, it is advisable to remove any residue with
a glass cleaner or soap and water. Oven cleaner left on
during the next ring can permanently stain the glass and
damage the nish on plated metal surfaces.
A portion of the combustion air entering the firebox is
deected down over the inside of the door glass. This air
ow “washes” the glass, helping to keep smoke from adher-
ing to its surface. When operated at a low burn rate, less
air will be owing over the glass and the smoky, relatively
cool condition of a low re will cause the glass to become
coated. Operating the appliance with the Burn Rate Air
Control and Start-Up Air Control all the way open for 15-20
minutes should remove the built up coating.
