C. Door and Door Gasket
Periodically check the door gasket for proper seal. As the gasket
compresses or “seats” during use, it may become necessary to
adjust or tighten the door latch.
To Adjust or Tighten Door Latch
Remove spacing washers shown in Figure 31.4. At least one
spacing washer and the black washer must be left in place.
OR
Replace the gasket material. Wear or damage to the gasket
material can cause air leakage into the firebox resulting in
overfiring and loss of efficiency.
A replacement gasket is available from your dealer.

tube retainer bolt on the air channel under the end of
the front tube. See Figure 31.2.
NOTE: Soak the bolt with penetrating oil for at least 15
minutes before trying to remove it.
5. To remove manifold tube, slide the tube to one side
until one end is out of its hole. Then, while lifting that
end of the fiber board baffle, pull tube up over the air
channel and out of hole at the other end. It is only
necessary to remove the first tube in order to remove
the baffle.
6. Slide fiber board baffle forward to front of fireplace and
straight out through door. See Figure 31.3.
7. To install the fiber board baffle, repeat steps 2 through
