Chalet 1800 Ins 28
LATCH ADJUSTMENT
The door latch may require adjustment as the door gasket ma-
terial compresses after a few fires. Turning the door handle
counter clockwise, will allow the latch to be moved closer to the
door frame, causing a tighter seal. Do not over-tighten the gas-
ket.
Before you can turn the handle to tighten it, you must loosen a
locking bolt. Loosen its locking nut, remove the bolt, adjust the
handle tension on the gasket and then reinstall the bolt and
locknut in place.
To test the effectiveness / tightness of your gasket, insert a
piece of paper between the door and insert body. You shouldn’t
be able to pull the paper out of the door.
DOOR GASKET
To test the effectiveness / tightness of your gasket, insert a piece of paper between the door and insert
body. You shouldn’t be able to pull the paper out of the door
If the door gasket requires replacement a 7/8" diameter rope gasket must be used. A proper high tem-
perature gasket adhesive is required. See your Archgard Dealer.
NOTE: An improperly adjusted door seal can have a significant effect of the performance and durability
of the fireplace. A poorly adjusted door can result in reduced efficiency, excessive wood consumption
and premature insert failure.
GLASS MAINTENANCE
The glass door in a modern wood burning insert isn't glass
at all, but a transparent ceramic material that can with-
stand very high temperatures. It is unlikely that the
"glass" will break because of heat, but it could be dam-
aged if struck with a hard object. Do not slam the insert
door or impact the glass. When closing the door, make sure
that logs do not protrude against the glass. If you need re-
placement glass, visit the store where you bought your
insert to get the right size, shape and material. This
ARCHGARD CHALET 1800 Wood Fireplace Insert is
equipped with 5 mm ceramic glass that will withstand the
highest heat that your unit will produce.
The door glass will need cleaning periodically - wait until the appliance has cooled before cleaning. A
damp cloth or paper towel should remove any ash dust or light brown stains. For darker, more stub-
born stains, buy special insert glass cleaner that will not scratch the surface. Check the gasket around
the glass and replace it when it gets worn or leaky.
