I. Side Door Handle Operation
(Fig. 13.1)
To open the front door, pull the lever located on the blower
right side of the unit (be sure to wear the glove provided if
the unit is hot). Carefully swing the door open from right
to left. To close the door swing it shut from left to right
and close by pushing the handle from front to back. When
securing the front door closed, make sure both the top and
bottom hooks engage the pins on the right side of the door.
J. Front Door Seal
The front door has a non-combustible rope which creates
a tight seal for the fi rebox. The fi rst time you open the
front door and close it, the gasket may be stiff and the door
diffi cult to close.
Following the fi rst fi re, the gasketing will relax which will
allow the door to be closed easily for normal use which
provides a tight seal. This seal is critical for proper air
regulation in the fi rebox for safe and effi cient burn. Though
this material is a high quality material specifi cally designed
for wood burning appliances, it is subject to normal wear
and tear and should be replaced if burn times are reduced
or there is concern of leakage.
The seal is subject to damage from excessive cleaning
or by debris being closed in the door. If there is a concern
of leakage, use a thin piece of paper, place against the
gasket in the area of concern, close the door and latch
shut, then gently tug on the paper. If the paper comes
right out without any resistance, the seal should be
replaced.
