    Door gasket sealant - do I need to let it fully cure?

    Just replaced my door gasket and I'm wondering if I need to let the gasket sealant (silicone based) to fully cure before turning the stove back on. The sealant only says that it will be cured within 24 hours, but gives no indication of whether the stove can be running or not.
