An air wash bleeds air over the inside of the glass to keep it cleaner longer. If your stove has air wash, and you blocked the passages with the new gasket, the window will soot up faster.
Either the bottom or top of most Stove glass has a Gap, to let Air "Wash" in through that gap, and keep the glass clean. My Quadrafire is on the top. My Fahreheit is on the bottom and my Englander is totally different, in that it draws air through special passages in the bottom of the stove and has passages that run to both sides on the top of the glass. I dont have a Whitefield, so I do not know exactly how they operate. But someone who does have one, should be around shortly. Do you have an owners manual or a sevice manual?
