Replacing glass fiber rope
When the braided glass fibre rope is all flattened out, it
becomes impossible to close the door hermetically. This
means that the glass fibre rope is no longer usable or that the
rope is damaged. You must therefore replace it.
Use a ½ inch (12.7mm) braided glass fiber rope.
It is preferable to detach the door from the stove when you
replace the rope. Refer to the section concerned in this
manual.
Glass fiber rope preparation
1) Take the end of the glass fiber rope and tuck fiber
inside to make a clean end.
2) Put little amount of high temperature sealant, such as
latex or silicone, at the end of the fiber glass rope so
that it won’t come loose.
3) Remove old glass fiber rope from the door and clean
the groove.
4) Starting from the lower corner near the hinge, put the
glass fiber rope into the groove without giving any
tension. Verify the length of rope.
5) Cut it ½ inches over the require length and repeat
step 1 and 2.
Glass fiber rope installation
1) Put a high temperature sealant in the clean groove to
glue the glass fiber rope.
2) Place glass fiber rope into the groove starting from the
lower corner near the hinge without giving any tension
3) Glue the two glass fiber rope ends with high-
temperature sealant to make a right angle.
4) Let dry the sealant for at least 48 hours before use.
Reassemble the door on the hinges if you uninstall it
and readjust the airtightness.
