Periodically check the door gasket for proper seal. As the gasket
compresses or “seats” during use, it may become necessary to
adjust or tighten the door latch.
To Adjust or Tighten Door Latch
Remove spacing washers shown in Figure 32.4. At least one
spacing washer and the black washer must be left in place.
OR
Replace the gasket material. Wear or damage to the gasket
material can cause air leakage into the fi rebox resulting in
overfi ring and loss of effi ciency.
A replacement gasket is available from your dealer.
