Removing and Replacing the Glass
DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH BROKEN OR MISSING GLASS. IF THE GLASS DOES
BREAK, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS BELOW FOR REPLACING THE GLASS.
To replace the glass, remove the glass clips on the back of the door by removing the screws. Replace
only with Neoceram 5mm thick, available from your dealer.
The gasket must be placed in the groove provided in the door. Door gaskets to be used are 7/8"
fiberglass weave. Glass gaskets to be used are 3/8" fiberglass weave. Glass clips must have 1/4" self-

Removing and Replacing the Glass Gasket
A damaged or deteriorated glass gasket will allow air to enter the appliance through the space between
the door and glass. This may cause smoke to enter the room and hamper efficient burning. To replace
the glass gasket, follow the directions for removal of the glass and when re-installing, place the new
gasket in place.
Removing and Replacing the Door Gasket
A damaged or deteriorated glass gasket will allow air to enter the appliance through the space between
the door and firebox. This will allow smoke to enter the room and hamper efficient burning. The door
gasket is held in place with special cement made to withstand extreme heat. To remove the gasket,
carefully pull the gasket away from the door and scrape any excess cement off the door. To replace, use
the manufacturer's gasket and cement (provided by your dealer) and re-attach the gasket, making sure it
is aligned properly around the opening.
