36 Maintenance

Yearly Maintenance (or every ton) - continued

Door Seal

! Air leaks into the firebox will decrease the

stove's performance greatly, leading to

excessive sooting, inefficient burning,

and perhaps a malfunction.

• The door gasket must contact the entire

perimeter of the door and create an air-

tight seal. To verify this, open the door,

hold a dollar bill against the body of the

heater, close the door, and secure the

latch. The dollar bill should be held firmly

in place (check the entire perimeter of the

door. If it is loose or falls out, the door

must be adjusted (see the following

page).

Door Alignment

Because the door is three-sided, it is

crucial the door is aligned correctly.

We recommend that you open the

hopper lid and look down upon the

door and body of the heater. Use the

illustration to the right to determine

the correct door alignment.

Correctly Aligned Door

When properly adjusted, the door should be evenly

spaced from the front of the stove (and shut tight,

compressing the gasket).

Hinge

Latch

Note how both corners are evenly spaced.

Latch Too Tight - In the illustration below, the

latch is too tight (this is the most common mis-

alignment). Loosen the latch and tighten the hinge.

Note how the gasket separates from the body.

Hinge Too Tight - In the illustration below, the

hinge is too tight. Loosen the hinge and tighten

the latch.

Note how the gasket separates from the body.
