5.e Door Glass Replacement
Remove the 4 stainless steel screws retaining the
glass. Replace the 2mm x 10mm seal if necessary.
Position replacement glass and fit retaining clips,
tighten screws just enough to pinch the glass.
Overtightening can result in the glass cracking.

5.c Keeping your Stove Glass Clear
To maintain clear glass there are 2 factors.
1. Correct and dry fuel (see section 4, Principles of combustion)
2. Correct use of air controls (see section 4, Making a fire - wood/solid fuel)
As a general rule the hotter the fire the clearer the glass will be. If you have wet fuel
the fire will struggle to reach high temperatures, an inecient burn = blackening. If not
enough air is being drawn through the firebox, due to incorrect use of the controls, the
fire will slumber and not burn as well or eciently also leading to blackening.
However there are also times within both the burn cycle and areas within the physical
firebox where the temperatures are cooler. As far as the burn cycle you can just wait
for a hotter fire and any discolouration will burn o. Cooler spots in the fire box such
as in front of the fuel retaining bar and the corners of the glass can show signs of
discolouration after a number of fires. This is easily dealt with. When the stove is cool
either use an o the shelf stove glass cleaner or dip a damp cloth/piece of kitchen roll
in wood ash and rub the area. Any persistant areas can be cleaned with wire wool.
5.d Door Seal
If the door seal shows signs of deterioration, you may need to replace it. This is a
14mm diameter rope on the fire box door and 10mm for the oven doors. To test the
eectiveness of the seal, when the stove is cold, trap a piece of paper between the
door seal and stove body shutting the door completely, you should feel resistance when
you try to pull the paper out. Repeat this for each edge.
