the door glass. Removal of these glass retaining clips can be accomplished with household tools. Order the
necessary replacement screws or glass clips when ordering glass to ensure worn parts are replaced.
Glass-ceramic has a thermal endurance far exceeding that of normal tempered glass. Ceramic glass is
designed to operate at temperatures ranging from -400
0 F to +1400 0 F. Despite its superior thermal properties,
Ceramic Glass stove windows should be treated with care. This glass-ceramic can still be scratched or
broken by mechanical abuse. When cleaning the window, use only non-caustic, non-abrasive cleaners. The
Harvester stove uses glass-ceramic that is 0.197 inches thick +/- 0.008 inches. If problems occur with the
glass or replacement parts are needed, contact American Energy Systems Inc. or a local authorized dealer for
assistance in ordering the necessary parts.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to clean hot glass. Do not abuse, strike, slam shut, or operate the
Harvester stove with any broken glass in the appliance.
GASKET REPLACEMENT
Remove the doors from the unit. Place the doors, face down on a protective surface to ensure no marring or
scratching occurs during gasket replacement. To replace the Thermoglass
™ knitted rope and tape gasket, first
remove all of the old material and gasket cement. Use a putty knife or other sharp instrument to assist in
removal. Use caution to prevent injury when removing old material. It is important to ensure the doorframe
area is totally clean before installing the new gasket cement and material. The gasket must fit tight against the
door frame in order to ensure a proper airtight seal when the stove is being operated. Apply gasket cement to
the gasket channel per instructions provided with the gasket kit. Once the cement has been properly applied,
install the new gasket. Both gasket and gasket cement are available from your authorized Country Flame
dealer. The following table defines the gasket material used in the Harvester stove:
