The Dutchwest Gas Heater uses a ‘tadpole’ type gasket 
to seal between the glass panel and the frame. In time, 
this gasket can become brittle and compressed and 
should be replaced. New gasket is available from your 
dealer.
Shut off the gas supply and allow the stove to cool. 
Wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
1.  Remove the Front, Glass Frame and Glass Panel. 

(Figs. 36, 37) Remove the old gasket. Use a razor 
blade, with rounded corners, to separate the glass 
and gasket from the frame, and to clean the glass of 
any remaining cement or bits of gasket. 

2.  Determine the correct length of gasket by laying it 

out around the edge of the glass. Allow an extra 1 - 
2” (25-50 mm). Mark the spot to be cut. Use a utility 
knife.

3.  Starting on a long edge, remove about 6” of the pro-

tective paper strip and apply the flat adhesive face 
of the gasket around the outside-facing edge of the 
panel. Continue around the panel, applying about 6” 
at a time and being careful to not stretch the mate-
rial. Do not overlap the gasket ends. (Fig. 38)

4.  Apply a thin bead of high temperature silicone 

rubber sealant along the inside corner of the glass 
frame, all around the perimeter. Place the flat 
gasketed side of the glass panel back into the steel 
frame. Pinch the rounded inside-facing gasket mate-
rial to bulk it up.

5.  Replace the glass frame and front panel as previ-

ously described.

Have the vent system inspected annually by a quali-
fied technician. Shut off the main gas supply before 
inspecting the system. Both the inner exhaust pipe and 
the outer combustion supply pipe must be checked to 
confirm that they are unblocked and in good condition. 

To ensure that the stove is operating properly, check 
the flames periodically to confirm they match Figure 39. 
The flames will be blue during the first 15-20 minutes of 
operation, and will gradually turn to yellow.
Do not use your stove if the flame pattern differs from 
that shown here. Contact your Dutchwest dealer or a 
qualified technician for help.

If there is ever a need to remove the firebox assem-
bly from the stove shell, support the firebox with solid 
stands about 6” (152 mm) tall under the left and right 
outer edges of the firebox base. Do not set the firebox 
assembly directly on the floor; this can damage the 
control valve and/or the gas lines from the valve to the 
firebox.
Before removing the firebox from the shell, disconnect 
the on/off switch wires from the valve. If the assembly 
includes the optional fan, disconnect the fan rheostat. 
If the installation includes a wall thermostat, disconnect 
the thermostat leads from valve.
Disconnection and reconnection to the gas line should 
only be done by a qualified gas service technician.
Upon reinstallation, the vent system must be sealed to 
the firebox as shown in the installation section, Page 9. 
Also be sure the logs are placed in the firebox correctly, 
as shown on Page 11, Figures 21, 22.
