Dutchwest Non-Catalytic Convection Heater

Maintenance

Below you will ﬁnd important informaiton on general care, inspection and maintenance of your Dutchwest

stove. Should it become necessary, use only replace- ment parts recommended by your authorized dealer.

Keep Your Stove Looking New

And Working Its Best

Care of the Cast Iron Surface

An occasional dusting with a dry rag will keep the painted cast iron of your Dutchwest Convection Heater looking new.

If the paint needs retouching, allow the stove to cool completely. Wire-brush areas needing to be painted. Remove non-painted components such as air controls or cover them with masking tape. Touch up the stove with high temperature stove paint available from your local dealer. Apply the paint sparingly. Two light coats are better than one heavy one.

Cleaning the Glass

You will ﬁnd that most of the carbon deposits on the glass will burn off regularly during hot ﬁres. You can wipe ﬂy ash from the glass when hot using a crumpled piece of dry newspaper. Never use liquid cleaning agents on hot glass. If you wish to clean the glass more thoroughly, follow this procedure:

•Be sure the glass is completely cool.

•Use a glass cleaner especially made for this pur- pose.

•Dry the glass completely.

Adjust the Door Latch

The door latches must close tightly to ensure a good seal between the each door and the stove plates. With time and use, the door latches will require periodic adjustment. Follow this procedure: (Fig. 26)

1.Loosen the small locking nut with an open end wrench.

2.Use the allen wrench (included with the stove) to turn the striker screw clockwise one quarter-turn and close the door to test the engagement. The door latch should engage tightly when closed. Make further adjustments in small increments.

3.When the striker screw is properly adjusted, tighten the small locking nut against the pawl without allow- ing the striker screw to turn.

Test and Repair the Door Gaskets

Air leaks can be caused by low spots in the door gas- kets. To locate such low spots, close each door on a slip of paper and attempt to pull the paper free. If the paper slips out without tearing, the gasket isn’t snug enough at that spot.

If the seal cannot be improved by adjusting the door latch, try shimming the gasket. Pack a small quantity of cement or a smaller diameter gasket into the channel beneath the gasket to lift the main gasket and thereby improve its contact with the door frame.

If shimming does not improve the seal, replace the gasket following these steps:

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

2.Wearing safety goggles, use a wire brush or the tip of a screwdriver to clean the channel of any remain- ing cement or bits of gasket.

Remove the old gasket by pulling gently, but ﬁrmly.
