AS NEEDED
Glass and Gasket Replacement
In the event that you need to repair or replace a
cracked or broken glass, order kit 93-58230
(complete glass assembly with frame) and use the
following instructions to replace the components.
Your Stowe uses a folded flat fiberglass gasket to
make a tight seal between the glass frame and the
firebox. In time, the gasket can become brittle and
compressed and should be replaced using the
following instructions. New gasket material is also
available from your Authorized Hearthstone Dealer.
Protect your hands with work gloves, and wash up
later.
1. Allow the Stowe to cool completely. If the glass
is severely broken, first pull the broken
fragments of glass away from the firebox using
heavy-duty gloves.
2. Follow the instructions for removing the front
glass described in Firebox Access on page 8.
Remove the glass from the glass frame by
drilling
out the four 1/8” rivets that lock the glass
in place. Pull the glass away from the frame and
set it aside.
If replacing gasket only:
1. Remove the existing gasket from the glass by
grasping one end and pulling firmly. Clean off as
much of the hanging fiber
“hairs” as possible
2.
Locate the 3/4” x 1/16” flat tape gasket. Peel the
adhesive protecting paper away from one end.
Starting at the center of the long end of the glass
apply the gasket centered on the edge of the
glass. Continue to wrap the gasket around the
edge until you meet at the starting point. Do not
overlap the gasket ends or leave ends with
ragged edges.
3. Firmly and evenly, fold the gasket around the
edges of the glass so it lies flat on the surface.
4. Place the gasket back in the glass frame. With
four new 1/8” rivets replace the 2 glass clips.
The glass and frame are now ready to be placed
back on the unit.
If replacing entire glass with kit:
1. Apply gasket to new glass as describe in steps
2-3 above.
2. Carefully install the new glass with frame onto
the firebox and fasten in place using the swing
clips .
3. Replace the cast iron by reversing the steps
used for removal.
WARNING! DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE
MATERIALS. USE ONLY PARTS SUPPLIED BY
HEARTHSTONE THROUGH AN AUTHORIZED
HEARTHSTONE DEALER.
CAUTION! DO NOT CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE
THE UNIT IS HOT.
VENTING
COMPONENTS:
Venting should not need to be disassembled for
normal cleaning. However, if venting is required to
be removed for any reason, this should be done by a
qualified service person only. It is imperative that
the venting system be reinstalled according to the
particular manufacturer’s specifications and this is
best performed by a professional.
Venting System Inspection
Periodic inspection of the venting system should be
performed by a qualified service person or agency at
least annually.
