ensure safe operation of the pellet stove, Jamestown highly recommends that all gasket materials be

inspection and replacement of the various gasket materials.
A replacement gasket kit (part # 03HAA) is available at any Jamestown Dealer. Instructions for replacing all
the gaskets are included with the gasket kit.
