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.

To test the effectiveness / tightness of your gasket, insert a

piece of paper between the door and stove 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 stove

body. You shouldn’t be able to pull the paper out of the door

If the door gasket requires replacement a ⅞" 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 stove failure.

GLASS MAINTENANCE

The glass door in a modern wood burning stove 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 stove

door or impact the glass. When closing the door, make sure

that logs to not protrude against the glass. If you need re-

placement glass, visit the store where you bought your

stove to get the right size, shape and material. This

Archgard Chalet 1800 is equipped with 5 mm ceramic glass

that will withstand the highest heat that your unit will pro-

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 stove glass cleaner that will not scratch the surface. Check the gasket around

the glass and replace it when it gets worn or leaky.
