Regular maintenance will assure proper

The following procedures do not take long and are
generally inexpensive. When done consistently, they
will help increase the life of your stove and assure
satisfactory performance.

an ash vacuum with a metal container is accept-

completely cold.

Black paint to keep your stove looking new.
7.5 Gaskets
Check door and glass gaskets for seal integrity.
The gaskets should be soft enough to be somewhat
resilient to the touch. Over time, gaskets will compress
and harden. Replace worn-out or hardened gaskets with
the appropriate size material available from your local
Authorized Jøtul Dealer.
To check the seal of the front door, close and latch the
door on a dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar
bill free. The seal is too loose if the bill can be easily
removed. Adjust the door latch and test again.
7.5.1 Gasket Replacement
See the chart below for replacement gasket
specifications.
1. Remove the old gasket material with a pliers and thor-
oughly clean the channel with a wire brush.
2. Lay out the new gasket around the channel to deter-
mine length. Trim the gasket to leave 1” excess.
3. Apply a small bead of gasket or furnace cement in the
channel.
4. Lightly press the new gasket into the channel, being
careful to avoid compressing or stretching it. Trim the
gasket further as necessary to allow the tail end to
slightly overlap the other end.
5. Wait ten minutes to allow the cement to set and then
close and latch the doors. Reopen the doors and use a
damp cloth to wipe away any excess cement that may
be squeezed out from under the gasket.
