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 condition. 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.

Avoid Damaging the Glass

Do not abuse the glass by slamming the door or striking the glass with a log. Never operate your stove if it has damaged or broken glass. If you need to replace the glass, use only replacement glass provided by your local Sequoia dealer.

Replace Broken Glass Immediately

Prepare to replace the glass in your stove by first clearing a large flat area nearby to use as a work surface. Place in order the pieces that you disas- semble. This will be a great help when you put the pieces back together.

Fig. 25 In order of assembly, the front door glass compo- nents include a brass frame, gasket, glass, two clips and four bolts.

To remove the glass:

1.Open the front door. Lift the door gently while raising the end nearest you slightly. This will cause the bottom hinge pin to leave its seat. Once the bottom hinge pin is free, lower the door to free the top hinge pin. Place the door face down on a padded surface.

2.Remove the 7/16” bolts holding the stainless steel glass retaining clips on the left and right sides of the glass. Remove the clips and lift the glass off the brass frame. Lift broken glass carefully to avoid being cut.

3. Remove the old gasket.

To install the new glass:

1.Place a new piece of 3/16” gasket around the perimeter of the brass frame for the glass to rest on, as far to the outside as possible.

2.Place the new piece of glass on the gasket.

3.Position the glass retainer clips, and fasten in place with the 7/16” bolts previously removed. Tighten the bolts alternately. Do not over-tighten.

Damper Adjustment

Check the damper to confirm that it is locking tightly whenever the top is removed for combustor inspection. If the damper needs adjustment, use a 7/16” socket wrench with a socket extension and follow this proce- dure:

1.Remove the stove top plate. It is held in place by two bolts. these bolts are accessible when you open the front door and look upward toward the under- side of the top plate. Remove the two bolts. NOTE: The left hand bolt is more accessible through the side door.

2.Lift the top plate off the stove. It is heavy, you may choose to have a helper assist you.

3.Open the damper.

4.If necessary for better access, carefully remove the refractory cover.

5.Loosen the adjusting bolt’s lock nut.

6.Loosen the anchor bolt’s lock nut located on the back side of the damper and accessible inside the stove through the front door.

7.Loosen the anchor bolt a turn or two.

8.Tighten the adjusting bolt.
