DOOR INSTALLATION
The Ovation door has been mounted and checked for proper fit at the factory. If the door is
removed for any reason, care must be taken in reinstalling the door to ensure proper alignment and
fit. Setting the door is quite simple. Ensure the door is in the fully open position. Once done, align
the female portion of the door hinge with the male portion of the stove hinge. Gently lower the
door hinges over the stove hinge. Once the door hinges have been set, the door can be closed to
check for proper fit. The Ovation door installation should now be complete. To remove the door,
simply lift up on the door from the stove hinges. Store the door in a secure place. If the door is left
sitting, ensure that the door cannot fall and injure someone or damage the door or glass. The
Ovation door has been adjusted at the factory. If the door fit is not satisfactory, the owner can
adjust the door using the hinge screws, refer to FIGURE 7.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT
The Ovation door may require fine adjustment due to variations in the door, the gasket material, or
due to hinges being slightly ajar. After extended use, the door may also require some minor
adjustments to maintain a center-aligned appearance. The Ovation door needs to remain airtight to
ensure proper firebox operation. The Ovation door can be adjusted up or down and left or right
with the adjustable hinge pins as shown in FIGURE 7.
The door gasket air tightness can also be adjusted to ensure an 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.
GLASS CLEANING
The Ovation Stove is designed with an advanced air wash system to extend the time between
required cleaning of door glass. If the Ovation Stove is operated continuously with the combustion
air damper partially or fully closed, 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 (see “Refueling for Optimum Performance,” page 14.) CAUTION: Do
not clean hot glass. If the door glass does require cleaning, use an authorized stove glass cleaner.
A Country Flame authorized dealer will be happy to recommend a suitable cleaner. Regular
household glass cleaners are not effective in cleaning creosote and other residue from the glass.
