7.  For doors, replace the doors and close them on 

a piece of waxed paper to keep the cement from 
migrating onto the stove front, or tap other parts with 
the rubber mallet (or hammer/block of wood).

8.  Clean excess cement from around the channel. Let 

the cement that holds the new gasket dry thoroughly.

The door latch or damper mechanism may need adjust-
ment after you have regasketed them. Initially, it may 
require loosening to accommodate the new gasket; af-
ter a few weeks, it may need tightening to compensate 
for compression of the new gasket. The directions for 
adjusting the latch and damper handle are on Page 19.

Other gaskets seal between non-moving parts, but 
these are not subject to the same wear and deteriora-
tion as gaskets on moving parts. It is unlikely that you 
will ever need to replace these gaskets unless the 
involved parts are disassembled and then put back 
together. If this is the case, the job should be done only 
by a qualified service technician. The diameter of the 
gasket that seals these non-moving parts is 5/16”, and 
the areas sealed are the flue collar to the stove back; 
and the lower fireback to the sides. Refer to Page 18 for 
information on the glass panels and their gaskets.

Wait until the fire is out and the stove has cooled. Be 
sure to follow the standard safety procedure for working 
with dusty materials: Wear safety goggles and a dust 
mask.
The procedure for replacing the gaskets is the same, 
regardless of the gasket location.
1.  Remove the existing gasket by grasping an end and 

pulling firmly. 

2.  Use a wire brush or a screwdriver to clean the 

channel of any remaining cement or bits of gasket. 
Remove stubborn deposits of cement with a cold 
chisel if necessary. (Fig. 29)

3.  Determine the correct length of the appropriate-sized 

gasket by laying it out in the channel. Allow an extra 
25-51 mm (1-2”) and mark the spot to be cut.

4.  Remove the gasket from the channel, place it on a 

wood cutting surface, and cut it at the marked spot 
with a utility knife. Twist the ends slightly to keep the 
gasket from unraveling. 

5.  Lay an unbroken 3 mm (1/8”) bead of gasket cement 

in the newly-cleaned channel. Starting at one end, 
press the gasket into the channel. Ensure a good 
joint where the gasket meets before trimming any 
excess.  Do not overlap the gasket ends or leave 
ends with ragged edges. (Fig. 30)

6.  Press the gasketed part firmly against its normal 

mating surface to seat the gasket evenly in its chan-
nel.
