Vermont Castings 3421 - Manual (Page 2)

If a poor seal is apparent after you have installed a
new gasket, and it cannot be corrected with door or
latch adjustment, it may be necessary to insert shim
gaskets under the new gasket or to take other cor-
rective actions. Your dealer can provide the neces-
sary materials and advice.
The stove’s door may need adjustment after you
have installed a new gasket. Initially, it may require
loosening to accommodate the new gasket; after a
few weeks, it may need tightening to compensate for
the gasket compressing.
You adjust the door by removing or adding wash-
ers to the door latch mechanism. If the door must
be loosened after installing a new gasket, remove
washer. For a tighter fit, add washers. To remove or
add washer, open the door, remove the allen-head
button screw that attaches the door latch tab to the
stove front, and remove the tab. Add or remove
washers as needed, and save any washers you re-
move for future use. Replace the door latch tab and
secure it with the allen-head button screw.
Care of the Glass Panels
Most carbon deposits will burn off the glass during nor-
mal use. Constant deposits on the glass indicate low,
smoky fires. However, if you wish to clean the glass
panel, use only a cleaner made especially for cleaning
stove glass. Your dealer can supply this.
