Adjust the Door Latch

The door gasket will compress after use. To restore a tight seal, adjust the tension on the latch:

•Remove the Allen head button screw that attaches the door latch tab to the stove front. (Fig. 34)

•Remove one of the washers that separates the tab from the front (save it for future use.)

•Replace the remaining washers and the door latch tab.

•Remove another washer if necessary.

•Test the seal by closing the door on a slip of paper and attempting to pull the paper free. If the paper is freed without tearing, the gasket isn’t snug enough at that spot.

If the paper indicates a low spot in a specific area, try “adjusting” the gasket in that area. Pack more cement or a smaller diameter gasket into the channel beneath the gasket so that the main gasket is raised and makes contact with the door frame. This procedure should solve the problem. If it doesn’t, replace the gasket fol- lowing these steps:

•Wearing safety goggles and a dust mask, remove the original gasket by grasping an end and pulling firmly.

•Use a wire brush or the tip of a screwdriver to clean the channel of any remaining cement or bits of gas- ket.

•Apply a thin bead of stove cement in the newly- cleaned groove.

•Pack the gasket into the groove. Wait until you are a couple inches from the end before you cut it.

•Test the gasket by closing the door on a slip of paper such as described above. Adjust the gasket in any areas where an inadequate seal is evident.

Adjust the Door

Although it is unlikely that adjusting it will be necessary, the height of the Resolute Acclaim’s front load door is adjustable. The lower door hinge pin has a shoulder that lifts or lowers the door as you screw the pin up or down.

Repair Missing Cement in Seams

The cement in the stove seams may deteriorate over time and fall out in places. Just as with the stove doors, it is necessary to keep the seam seals in good condi- tion. Spot-fix with furnace cement (available from your local dealer) any areas where the cement seal is visibly deteriorated. Allow 24 hours for the new cement to dry.

Adjust the Damper as Needed

The tension of the Resolute Acclaim’s torsion bar is ad- justable to compensate for compression of the gasket that seals the damper to the damper frame. To adjust the damper:

•Loosen the lock nut on the set screw in the center of the damper. (Fig. 35)

•Turn the set screw approximately one half-turn clockwise.

•Re-tighten the lock nut and test the damper mecha- nism.

Avoid Damaging the Glass

Do not abuse the glass in the front door by slamming the door shut or by striking the glass with a piece of wood, and never operate your stove if it has damaged or broken glass. If you need to replace the glass, use only glass provided by CFM Corporation.
