How to Adjust the Door Latch

Over time, the gasketing around the doors will com- press, and the latch may need adjustment. To adjust the latch, loosen the small locking nut, extend the striker screw one turn while keeping the striker screw from turning. (Fig. 44) Keep making adjustments a little at a time until the setting is right.

The front doors of the stove should close securely and tightly, when the handle is in the closed position. When the latch is properly adjusted there should be a slight resistance as the doors are moved to the completely closed position.

Tighten the Damper Handle as Needed

The damper handle is attached to the damper rod with a set screw bearing against a flat spot on the rod. Check the set screw periodically for tightness; tighten as needed.

Damper Adjustment

When the stove damper is closed, the pressure of the rod against the damper plate assures a good seal be- tween the damper and the damper housing. Adjustment may be needed after a period of time to retain adequate pressure.

To make this adjustment, start with the damper in the closed and locked position. (Fig. 45) Loosen the 7/16” locking nut in the center of the damper. Use a 1/8” Allen wrench to turn the Allen screw a full turn clockwise. Test the damper for snugness, and continue adjusting the Allen screw as needed. Tighten the 7/16” locking nut when the damper operates smoothly but firmly.
