Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a successful installation, first verify that your stove model is indeed the Stovax Stockton 11. Begin by removing the stove door and placing it on a flat, stable surface. Carefully remove the old, broken glass and inspect the gasket or rope seal lining the channel. If the seal is frayed or flattened, it is highly recommended to replace the rope or tape at the same time to ensure a proper airtight fit. Place the new glass panel into the frame, ensuring it is centered. When tightening the clips or fixings, apply only finger-tight pressure; over-tightening is a common cause of glass cracking under heat expansion. Always handle the panel by the edges to prevent skin oils from baking onto the glass during the first fire.
