5.
Take out the glass, and the flat grey glass seal rope
beneath it. The glass replacement kit will come with
replacement glass seal and door seal ropes.
FIBREGLASS ROPE
6.
Position the new glass on top of the replaced glass
seal rope and re-fit the stainless steel tabs and
screws.
7.
Hand-tighten the screws until firm. Take extra care
not to over-tighten the screws, otherwise the glass
will crack when the heater gets hot and the door
expands.
8.
Dispose of the old glass in a responsible manner.
9.
Re-fit the stainless steel door seal retainers to the
door.
10.
Follow steps 3-5 listed in "4. Fitting New Door Glass"
on page 9 to replace the door seal.

ADJUSTING DOOR LATCH
Over time, the door seal can become compressed,
resulting in a less than adequate seal between the door
and the front face of the firebox. For example, if the wood
burns unusually fast even with the air control set to low, it
may mean that there is an air leak around the door.
In this situation, the door seal does not necessarily need
replacing — adjustment of the door latch can tighten the
seal.
Form 1 has a twin hook latch that fastens at two points
highlghted in the diagram below. These latch points can be
adjusted forwards and backwards as needed.
To adjust the door latch:
1.
Using 8mm spanner, hold the M5 hex nut tight.
2.
Using 3mm hex key, loosen the M5 shoulder screw.
When loose, the latch point will be able to freely
slide forward and backward.
3.
Slide the latch point inwards approximately 1 mm
and retighten the shoulder screw.
4.
Do this on both latch points.
5.
Close the door and test the tightness of the latch. If
too tight or not tight enough, readjust until adequate
latching pressure is achieved.
If the door is still not latching adequately – replace the door
seal.
