LOADING DOOR GASKET REPLACEMENT
(Blaze King recommends your dealer perform this task)
1. If the door gasket is to be replaced, be sure you have Blaze King 7/8” fi ber glass gasket material, ready to
re-install. See your Blaze King dealer.
2. Be sure the fi re is out and the stove has cooled down. Th
e door does not have to be removed from the
stove.
3. With a pair of pliers, pull the old door gasket out of the channel and dispose of it.
4. Th
oroughly clean out the channel so the new silicone adhesive will adhere and the gasket will fi t
smoothly
5. Run a small bead of a high temperature silicone adhesive (such as G.E. Silicone Sealer, or the equivalent)
along the center of the channel.
DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD SILICONE CAULKING.
High
temperature silicone may be obtained from most auto parts stores.
6. Start the new gasket in the lower right corner. Do not stretch or cut the gasket. Distribute the gasket
evenly around the frame.
7. Allow the adhesive to dry before closing the loading door.
8. Check the fi t of the door gasket. Insert a narrow strip of paper into the door opening and close and latch
the door. Obvious resistance should be felt when pulling the paper out. Repeat this check several times
around the perimeter of the door. If no resistance is felt, adjust door latch catch (see “LOADING DOOR
TENSION ADJUSTMENT” below).
9. A tight sealing door extends the burn times & protects the combustor.
LOADING DOOR TENSION ADJUSTMENT
To tighten the seal, use a 9/16” wrench
to loosen retainer nut on the outside and
tighten nut on inside fi rebox to move
latch catch in (see fi gure beside). Secure
retainer nut and (repeat) paper test. (see
step 8 above)
Use penetrating oil if necessary to make
turning easier.
DO NOT FORCE !!
