3.3.8 Door Adjustment
The doors may need to be adjusted to be
completely airtight. The gaskets’ air-
tightness can be adjusted using the
adjustment screw located on the right side
of the fireplace façade. (An Allen key #1/8
– not supplied - will be necessary for this
adjustment) (see figure 6-2)
3.3.9 Glass Care - Replacement
The glass used for the BIS TRADITION
is a high temperature ceramic glass
(1400°F). If the glass breaks or cracks, it
must be replaced with an identical ceramic
glass. Tempered glass or ordinary glass
will not withstand the high temperatures
of the BIS TRADITION. Replacement
glass should be purchased from a Security
Chimneys International dealer (see
“Replacement Parts”, Section 5).
Do not operate the unit with cracked or broken glass.
3.3.10 Glass Care - Cleaning
The BIS TRADITION is designed to keep the glass clean under normal operating conditions.
If the BIS TRADITION is operated continuously with the combustion air controls closed,
the glass will tend to get dirty unless the fuel, firebox and glass are maintained at hot
temperatures (see section 3.2.10). To clean the glass, there are a number of specially
designed cleaners to remove creosote. Your authorized Security dealer can recommend a
suitable cleaner. Regular household glass cleaners will not clean creosote. Do not use
abrasives such as steel pads, steel wool or oven cleaner as they will scratch the glass.
3.3.11 Gasket Replacement
Remove the doors from the unit (see section 3.3.7) and lay them on a clean nonabrasive
surface. To replace the gasket, first remove all of the old gasket and gasket cement. Make
sure that the surface is totally clean before applying new cement (a high temperature silicone
caulking rated at 500°F, 260°C, is suitable) or adhesion problems may result. Apply gasket
cement to the gasket channel and install the new gasket. This replacement part is available
from your Security dealer in the following dimensions:
