Baffle Plates - Kalfire W60/51Fl Installation And Instructions Manual

5.7 Baffle plates

The fireplaces are equipped with one or more removable
baffle plates, with which flue gases are monitored. These baffle
plates are situated above the smoke hood just below the heat
exchanger. with the larger models, the baffle plate consists of
several parts. The baffle plates ensure optimal combustion.
in the following situations, it may be necessary to decrease the
size of the baffle plates:
- smoke is returning to room;
- poor exhaust of the flue gasses;
- Condensation in the flue duct.
whether you completely remove the baffle plates depends on the
situation. in any case, this applies when the fireplace is used with
an open door.
WARNING always use adequate personal protective
equipment (gloves, safety goggles and work clothing)
during installation and maintenance of the fireplace.
CAREFUL! when reducing a baffle plate, do not cut away
too much. The plate must still be able to rest on the support
bracket.
