Before you begin
Never use your stove with cracked or missing glass. Let it cool completely before working on it and follow the fitting instructions for your model.
1. Prepare the door and work area
If the manufacturer's instructions permit it and the door can be lifted off safely, lay it flat on an old blanket or piece of carpet. Otherwise, leave the door in place and protect the surface below it. Wear suitable protection against soot and debris, and protective gloves when handling glass.
Check the door rope while you are working and replace it if worn, following the stove handbook.
2. Remove the glass and check the gasket
Where permitted by the manufacturer, use a suitable penetrating oil on the glass clip or frame screws and give it time to work. Remove the screws carefully with the correct size of screwdriver or Allen key. Take care with them: replacements for an older stove can be difficult to find.
Check the glass gasket and replace it as specified by the manufacturer, particularly if it is damaged or compressed. Clean the inside of the door frame and remove any remnants of the old gasket before fitting its replacement.
Some models deliberately have no gasket along the top of the frame, or leave a small gap there. Check the old arrangement against the handbook and follow the specified layout. Do not fill a gap that is part of the stove's design.
3. Fit the replacement glass
If the door is still on the stove, put an old cushion or similar protection underneath it before handling the new pane. Fitting glass can be fiddly, and a second person can help support it while you fit the clips.
Follow the manufacturer's clip-fitting sequence and keep the pane supported throughout. Do not over-tighten the screws or put uneven pressure on the glass. The pane, gasket and clips must fit as specified for your stove.
Follow the adhesive manufacturer's curing time and the stove's instructions before relighting.
4. Dispose of damaged glass
Stove glass must not go in ordinary bottle-and-jar recycling. Make it safe to handle, label it as heat-resistant glass and ask your local waste service for the correct disposal route.
Check the required glass panel
Some stoves have more than one pane. Check that the listing is for the pane you need.
