Yearly Maintenance (or every two tons) - Continued

Check for Air Leaks Around the Door, Glass, and Ashpan

!Air leaks into the firebox will decrease the stove's performance greatly, leading to excessive sooting, inefficient burning, and perhaps a malfunction.

•Test the door seal by shutting the door on a dollar bill in various locations. If the bill can be easily slid out, air may be leaking around the door seal – inspect the door gasket and door catch carefully.

•Inspect the door gasket to make sure it is fully attached. Use heater gasket cement to re- attach if necessary. If the door gasket is worn or flattened, replace.

•Check the door to make sure it latches correctly. Slight adjustments can be made to the door catch if necessary (do not over-tighten this catch, an over-tightened catch will damage the door). The latch should engage with a slight amount of resistance, yet not be difficult to engage.

•If the glass is cracked, replace. The glass is held in place by glass clips that are underneath the airwash brackets. See the illustration below for details.

•Remove the ashpan and inspect the gasket around the perimeter of the ashpan. Re- attach, or replace the gasket if necessary
