The door gasket will compress after use. To restore a

tight seal, adjust the tension on the latch:

• Remove the Allen head button screw that attaches

the door latch tab to the stove front. (Fig. 34)

• Remove one of the washers that separates the tab

from the front (save it for future use.)

• Replace the remaining washers and the door latch

tab.

• Remove another washer if necessary.

• Test the seal by closing the door on a slip of paper

and attempting to pull the paper free. If the paper is

freed without tearing, the gasket isn’t snug enough

at that spot.

If the paper indicates a low spot in a specic area, try

“adjusting” the gasket in that area. Pack more cement

or a smaller diameter gasket into the channel beneath

the gasket so that the main gasket is raised and makes

contact with the door frame. This procedure should

solve the problem. If it doesn’t, replace the gasket fol-

lowing these steps:

• Wearing safety goggles and a dust mask, remove

the original gasket by grasping an end and pulling

rmly.

• Use a wire brush or the tip of a screwdriver to clean

the channel of any remaining cement or bits of gas-

ket.

• Apply a thin bead of stove cement in the newly-

cleaned groove.

• Pack the gasket into the groove. Wait until you are a

couple inches from the end before you cut it.

• Test the gasket by closing the door on a slip of paper

such as described above. Adjust the gasket in any

areas where an inadequate seal is evident.

Although it is unlikely that adjusting it will be necessary,

the height of the Resolute Acclaim’s front load door is

adjustable. The lower door hinge pin has a shoulder

that lifts or lowers the door as you screw the pin up or

down.

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 condi-

tion. Spot-x 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.

The tension of the Resolute Acclaim’s torsion bar is ad-

justable to compensate for compression of the gasket

that seals the damper to the damper frame. To adjust

the damper:

• Loosen the lock nut on the set screw in the center of

the damper. (Fig. 35)

• Turn the set screw approximately one half-turn

clockwise.

• Re-tighten the lock nut and test the damper mecha-

nism.

Do not abuse the glass in the front door by slamming

the door shut or by striking the glass with a piece of

wood, and never operate your stove if it has damaged

or broken glass. If you need to replace the glass, use

only glass provided by MHSC.
