The door latch or damper mechanism may need adjust-
ment after you have regasketed them. Initially, it may
require loosening to accommodate the new gasket; af-
ter a few weeks, it may need tightening to compensate
for compression of the new gasket. The directions for
adjusting the latch and damper are on Page 6.

Other gaskets seal between non-moving parts, but
these are not subject to the same wear and deteriora-
tion as gaskets on moving parts. It is unlikely that you
will ever need to replace these gaskets unless the
involved parts are disassembled and then put back
together. If this is the case, the job should be done only
by a qualified service technician. The diameter of the
gasket that seals these non-moving parts is 5/16”, and
the areas sealed are the flue collar to the stove back;
and the lower fireback to the sides. Refer to Page 0 for
information on the glass panels and their gaskets.

 Lay a bead of gasket cement then press new gasket
in place.
5. Lay an unbroken 3 mm (1/8”) bead of gasket cement
in the newly-cleaned channel. Starting at one end,
press the gasket into the channel. Ensure a good
joint where the gasket meets before trimming any
excess. Do not overlap the gasket ends or leave
ends with ragged edges. (Fig. 31)
6. Press the gasketed part firmly against its normal
mating surface to seat the gasket evenly in its chan-
nel.
7. For doors, replace the doors and close them on
a piece of waxed paper to keep the cement from
migrating onto the stove front, or tap other parts with
the rubber mallet (or hammer/block of wood).
8. Clean excess cement from around the channel. Let
the cement that holds the new gasket dry thoroughly.
