DOOR SEALALIGNMENT / ADJUSTMENT (Arched Door Model)
Every effort has been made at the factory to ensure a proper door seal prior to shipment. Misalignment, however, may still occur during
shipment, mishandling and / or installation.
The following procedures will help you determine if the door is sealing properly, and how to achieve a proper seal.
CHECKING THE SEAL
1. Close and latch door.
2. Check seal by pushing against corners of glass.
- No movement indicates proper seal.
- Any movement between the glass and firebox face at any corner indicates an inadequate seal. This will create creosote build-up
on glass and cause the fire to burn faster.
HINGE ADJUSTMENT
1. Close and latch door.
2. Place wooden shim (included) between bottom of door and the face on the latch side. This is necessary to ‘hold’ door in horizontal
alignment.
3. Determine if upper, lower, or both hinges need adjustment.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT LOOSEN NUTS SECURING DOOR HINGES AT TOP AND BOTTOM OF DOOR.
UPPER FACE HINGE: Remove upper grill. Locate two nuts securing upper face hinge.
LOWER FACE HINGE: Open lower grill, locate two nuts securing lower face hinge (similar to upper grill hinge).
4. Using a 7/16 wrench or nut driver, LOOSEN BUT DO NOT REMOVE the two nuts. Push door in slightly, (either top or bottom,
depending on adjustment needed) to achieve a tighter door seal. Re-tighten nuts.
5. Remove shim. Repeat steps #1 & #2 in ‘CHECKING THE SEAL’ section above.
6. Repeat steps #1 - #5 of this section until proper door seal is achieved.
NOTE: Door may need to be ‘pulled out’ if binding occurs at either the top or bottom right corners.
