Wait until the fire is out and the stove has cooled. Be sure to follow the standard safety procedure for working with dusty materials: Wear safety goggles and a dust mask.

The procedure for replacing the gaskets is the same, regardless of the gasket location.

1.Remove the existing gasket by grasping an end and pulling firmly.

2.Use a wire brush or a screwdriver to clean the channel of any remaining cement or bits of gasket. Remove stubborn deposits of cement with a cold chisel if necessary. (Fig. 43)

Remove gasket then clean channel with wire brush.

3.Determine the correct length of the appropriate-sized gasket by laying it out in the channel. Allow an extra 1-2” (25-51 mm) and mark the spot to be cut.

4.Remove the gasket from the channel, place it on a wood cutting surface, and cut it at the marked spot with a utility knife. Twist the ends slightly to keep the gasket from unraveling.

5.Lay an unbroken 1/8” (3 mm) 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. 44)

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.

Adjust the Door if Necessary

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 26.

Permanent Gaskets

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 26 for information on the glass panels and their gaskets.

Additionally, the stove is available in various finishes, allowing for customization to fit different home styles.

In summary, the Vermont Castings 1695 is a well-rounded wood stove that combines traditional aesthetics with modern technologies.
