STOVE DOOR ADJUSTMENT
The Harvester door may require fine adjustment due to variations in the door, the gasket material, due to
hinge wear, or to maintain a center-aligned appearance. The Harvester door needs to remain airtight to ensure
proper firebox operation. The Harvester door can be adjusted up or down and left or right with the adjustable
hinge pins as shown in FIGURE 19.
The door gasket can also be adjusted to improve on the airtight fit. To adjust the gasket tightness, simply
rotate the door latch clockwise (tighten) or counterclockwise (loosen) one complete revolution or as necessary
to adjust the gasket seal. A good test to evaluate proper door gasket seal is to lay a dollar bill against the
stove frame and then close and latch the door. If gently tugging on the dollar bill does not dislodge it from
the door, the seal is appropriate. In the event that a proper door gasket seal cannot be obtained, it may be time
to replace the door gasket.
STOVE DOOR GLASS CLEANING
The Harvester stove is designed with an advanced air wash system that assists in keeping the door glass clean.
If the Harvester stove is operated continuously on low heat setting, the door glass will get dirty quicker than
when a medium to high fire is fueling the firebox. In order for glass to remain clean, a high temperature fire
must be maintained in the firebox. CAUTION: Do not clean hot glass. If the door glass does require
cleaning, use an authorized stove glass cleaner. Contact Country Flame or one of its local authorized dealers
to obtain a suitable cleaner or the name of a recommended glass cleaner. Regular household glass cleaners
are not effective in cleaning creosote and other residue from the glass. DO NOT use abrasives such as steel
wool or powder abrasives as they will permanently damage the glass. Once the glass has been scratched,
complete replacement of the glass is required. Use only approved 1400°F high temperature stove ceramic
glass to replace any cracked or broken glass.

GLASS REPLACEMENT
The glass used in the Harvester stove is a 1400°F high temperature ceramic glass. If the glass should crack or
break for any reason, it must be replaced with an equal or better grade ceramic glass. The use of tempered
glass or ordinary glass IS NOT AUTHORIZED and its use is hazardous. Harvester replacement glass can be
purchased direct from Country Flame or one of its authorized dealers. See FIGURE 20 for securing points for
