FIRE DOOR ROPE
REPLACEMENT
Periodically, visually check over the fire door rope
seal for any damage, cuts or tears and any
detached sections. The rope gasket can be
replaced, using the universal rope kit (see spare
parts guide Page 32), please follow the
instructions below :
 Ensure the appliance is cold.
 Lift the door off the appliance and lay onto a
flat surface with the rear face upwards.
 Carefully remove the old rope gasket and
old adhesive. Take note of the layout of the
old rope seal. Ensure no traces of the old
adhesive or rust / flaky paint is present, as
this will result in a unsound joint.
 Apply the rope adhesive following the
instructions on the bottle.
 Press the rope gasket into the channel on
the rear of the door casting, following the
same layout as the old rope seal. See Fig.
12.
 Just before the final end, cut the rope seal to
length and glue into position.
 Allow 30 minutes, before refitting the door to
the appliance.
FIRE DOOR GLASS
REPLACEMENT
In the event of the door glass being broken it can
easily be replaced. Please follow :
 The main fire door should be lifted off the
hinges so that the operations can be carried
out on a work bench or similar level surface.
 Unscrew the four bolts securing the glass
clips and remove, both clips and
fixings. It may be necessary to soak the
fixings in WD40 to aid removal.
 Carefully remove any pieces of broken
glass, and sealing gasket, wearing suitable
gloves as protection. Take note of the
position and joint of the rope gasket.
 Replace the glass rope gasket; start at the
bottom of the window, centrally, push the
adhesive side of the rope into the groove on
the rear of the casting. Gradually work your
way around until the end of the rope meets.
See Fig. 13.
 Re-seat the new glass, ensuring the glass
sits flat against the gasket, the glass should
sit with an equal gap between the glass and
the top and bottom cast pads. See Fig. 14.
 Replace the four retaining clips and fixing
bolts. Do not over tighten the fixings as
damage may occur to the glass. ONLY USE
HAND TOOLS TO TIGHTEN FIXINGS.
See Fig.15.
 Refit the door assembly back onto the stove;
carefully lift the door over the hinge and slot
into place.
