LATCH ADJUSTMENT
The door latch may require adjustment as the door gasket ma-
terial compresses after a few fires. Turning the door handle
counter clockwise, will allow the latch to be moved closer to the
door frame, causing a tighter seal. Do not over-tighten the gas-
ket.
To test the effectiveness / tightness of your gasket, insert a
piece of paper between the door and stove body. You shouldn’t
be able to pull the paper out of the door.
DOOR GASKET

body. You shouldn’t be able to pull the paper out of the door
If the door gasket requires replacement a ⅞" diameter rope gasket must be used. A proper high tem-
perature gasket adhesive is required. See your Archgard Dealer.
NOTE: An improperly adjusted door seal can have a significant effect of the performance and durability
of the fireplace. A poorly adjusted door can result in reduced efficiency, excessive wood consumption
and premature stove failure.
GLASS MAINTENANCE
The glass door in a modern wood burning stove isn't glass
at all, but a transparent ceramic material that can with-
stand very high temperatures. It is unlikely that the
"glass" will break because of heat, but it could be dam-
aged if struck with a hard object. Do not slam the stove
door or impact the glass. When closing the door, make sure
that logs to not protrude against the glass. If you need re-
placement glass, visit the store where you bought your
stove to get the right size, shape and material. This
Archgard Chalet 1800 is equipped with 5 mm ceramic glass
that will withstand the highest heat that your unit will pro-
The door glass will need cleaning periodically - wait until the appliance has cooled before cleaning. A
damp cloth or paper towel should remove any ash dust or light brown stains. For darker, more stub-
born stains, buy special stove glass cleaner that will not scratch the surface. Check the gasket around
the glass and replace it when it gets worn or leaky.
