Repair Missing Cement in Seams
The cement in the stove seams may deteriorate over
time and fall out in places. Just as with the stove
doors, it is necessary to keep the seam seals in good
condition. Spot-fix with furnace cement (available from
your local dealer) any areas where the cement seal is
visibly deteriorated. Allow 24 hours for the new
cement to dry.
Avoid Damaging the Glass
Do not abuse the glass by slamming the door or striking
the glass with a log. Never operate your stove if it has
damaged or broken glass. If you need to replace the
glass, use only replacement glass provided by your local
Sequoia dealer.
Replace Broken Glass Immediately
Prepare to replace the glass in your stove by first
clearing a large flat area nearby to use as a work
surface. Place in order the pieces that you disas-
semble. This will be a great help when you put the
pieces back together.
3. Remove the old gasket.
To install the new glass:
1. Place a new piece of 3/16” gasket around the
perimeter of the brass frame for the glass to rest on,
as far to the outside as possible.
2. Place the new piece of glass on the gasket.
3. Position the glass retainer clips, and fasten in place
with the 7/16” bolts previously removed. Tighten the
bolts alternately. Do not over-tighten.
Damper Adjustment
Check the damper to confirm that it is locking tightly
whenever the top is removed for combustor inspection.
If the damper needs adjustment, use a 7/16” socket
wrench with a socket extension and follow this proce-
dure:
1. Remove the stove top plate. It is held in place by
two bolts. these bolts are accessible when you open
the front door and look upward toward the under-
side of the top plate. Remove the two bolts. NOTE:
The left hand bolt is more accessible through the
side door.
2. Lift the top plate off the stove. It is heavy, you may
choose to have a helper assist you.
3. Open the damper.
4. If necessary for better access, carefully remove the
refractory cover.
5. Loosen the adjusting bolt’s lock nut.
6. Loosen the anchor bolt’s lock nut located on the
back side of the damper and accessible inside the
stove through the front door.
7. Loosen the anchor bolt a turn or two.
8. Tighten the adjusting bolt.

Fig. 25 In order of assembly, the front door glass compo-
nents include a brass frame, gasket, glass, two clips and four
bolts.
To remove the glass:
1. Open the front door. Lift the door gently while
raising the end nearest you slightly. This will cause
the bottom hinge pin to leave its seat. Once the
bottom hinge pin is free, lower the door to free the
top hinge pin. Place the door face down on a
padded surface.
2. Remove the 7/16” bolts holding the stainless steel
glass retaining clips on the left and right sides of the
glass. Remove the clips and lift the glass off the
brass frame. Lift broken glass carefully to avoid
being cut.
