manual abstract
If the paint needs retouching, allow the stove to cool completely. Wire-brush areas needing to be painted. Remove non-painted components such as air controls or cover them with masking tape. Touch up the stove with high temperature stove paint available from your local dealer. Apply the paint sparingly. Two light coats are better than one heavy one. Cleaning the Glass Maintenance ST806 Fig. 30 Door latch adjustment. Small Locking Nut Pawl Striker Screw Door Large Lock- ing Nut You will find that most of the carbon deposits on the glass will burn off regularly during hot fires. You can wipe fly ash from the glass when hot using a crumpled piece of dry newspaper. Never use liquid cleaning agents on hot glass. If you wish to clean the glass more thoroughly, follow this procedure: • Be sure the glass is completely cool. • Use a glass cleaner especially made for this purpose. • Dry the glass completely. Adjust the Door Latch The door latches must close tightly to ensure a good seal between the each door and the stove plates. With time and use, the door latches will require periodic adjustment. Follow this procedure: (Fig. 30) 1. Loosen the small locking nut with an open end wrench. 2. Use the allen wrench (included with the stove) to turn the striker screw clockwise one quarter-turn and close the door to test the engagement. The door latch should engage tightly when closed. Make further adjustments in small increments. 3. When the striker screw is properly adjusted, tighten the small locking nut against the pawl without allowing the striker screw to turn. 30002291 Test and Repair the Door Gaskets Air leaks can be caused by low spots in the door gaskets. To locate such low spots, close each door on a slip of paper and attempt to pull the paper free. If the paper slips out without tearing, the gasket isn’t snug enough at that spot. If the seal cannot be improved by adjusting the door latch, try shimming the gasket. Pack a small quantity of cement or a smaller diameter gasket into the channel beneath the gasket to lift the main gasket and thereby improve its contact with the door frame. If shimming does not improve the seal, replace the gasket following these steps: 1. Remove the original gasket by grasping an end and pulling firmly. 2. Wearing safety goggles, use a wire brush or the tip of a screwdriver to clean the channel of any remaining cement or bits of gasket. Remove the old gasket by pulling gently, but firmly.

Wait until you are a couple inches from the end before you cut it. 5. Test the gasket by closing the door on a slip of paper as described above. Adjust the gasket in any areas where an inadequate seal is evident. All rope-type gasketing used in the Dutchwest Convection Heater is made of fiberglass. The gasket is 3/8” diameter for front and side doors and the ash door and 3/8” for the top plate. 3/16” gasket is used behind the glass. Avoid Damaging the Glass Door Panel Do not abuse the glass by slamming the door or striking the glass with a log. Never operate your stove if it has damaged or broken glass. If you need to replace the glass, use only replacement glass provided by your local Dutchwest dealer. Damper Adjustment With time, you may need to adjust the damper linkage to ensure that the damper plate seals tightly when closed. Test the damper when the stove is cold. When turned into the closed position, the damper should be feel “snug” but not too tight. It will become a little tighter as the stove heats up. Use a 7/16” socket wrench with socket extension to adjust the linkage: 1. From inside the stove, first loosen and then remove the two (2) nuts on the threaded rods that secure the top plate to the inner top of the stove. 2. Remove the top plate and open the damper. 3. Loosen the adjusting bolt’s lock nut. (Fig. 32) 4. Loosen the anchor bolt’s lock nut, located on the underside of the damper. 5. Loosen the anchor bolt a turn or two. 6. Tighten the adjusting bolt. 7. Test the damper. Make further adjustments if necessary. 8. When final adjustment has been made, tighten the adjusting bolt lock nut, the anchor bolt, and the anchor bolt lock nut. Primary Air Control Adjustment Simple spring-loaded tabs maintain tension on the primary air control lever. The air control should be loose enough for you to easily set its position by hand, but also snug enough to remain in that position until you change it. Over time, the air control may tighten or loosen. To adjust the tension on the control, let the stove cool to room temperature. Open the side-loading door and look in toward the inner side of the front panel of the stove. (Fig. 33) Locate the lower hex head bolts (A) on the primary air manifold rods on either side of the door. Adjust with a 7/16” wrench. Note that the mechanism may tighten slightly as the stove heats up. Y...
