DOOR INSTALLATION AND ALIGNMENT
Figure #18: Air Control and Door Adjustment
To install the cast-iron
doors, place them on their pintles
and make sure they are aligned and
close tightly.
To adjust door positioning
and spacing, loosen the pintle screw
and pivot the pintle until the door is
in the correct position. To tilt a
door, lock in place one of the two
pintles and pivot the other. The
door will tilt to one side or the other
depending on the direction the
pintle is pivoted. For the door to be
straight, both pintles must be
aligned along the same axis.
If the pintles of a door are misaligned, it will tilt. It is therefore recommended to align them. Once the
ideal position has been achieved, lock the pintles in place by tightening the pintle screws.
Adjust the pressure on the gasket using the centre adjustment screw located at the bottom of the
combustion chamber. To check the pressure applied, place a slip of paper between the door and the face, and
pull gently. You should feel a slight resistance.
GASKET REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the doors and lay them on a clean, smooth surface.
2. Remove the old gaskets and glue. Make sure the surface is absolutely clean before applying new glue to
ensure optimal gasket bond.
3. Apply glue in the grooves.
4. Insert the new gaskets.
5. Wait at least four hours before using the fireplace.
