The throat plate locates on the back firebricks/tertiary air plenum and side
firebricks so note its position before removal. To remove, lift plate and bring
forwards, dropping the left side as you bring it forwards. Tilt it at an angle to
withdraw it, left side first from the front of the stove. It may help to remove the
left side brick. To replace, position baffle plate on back and right side brick, lift
plate and replace remaining brick, make sure it is located in position.
Baffle Plate Removal and Replacement
Note the position before removal.
To remove baffle plate, it is
necessary to remove the side
bricks. These can be removed by
raising them slightly to clear the
recess in which they sit and gently
withdraw forwards making sure
that the rear tab is not damaged.
The baffle can now be withdrawn
by sliding it up and forwards so it
clears the two angled brackets on
the back of the stove, then slide it
back and down to come away from
the top bracket.
To replace, reverse the process ensuring that the cut out in the baffle is to the
rear of the stove. At the end of the cleaning, make sure that all parts are located
correctly.
Sweeping the Chimney
Your chimney should be cleaned each year before starting to use your stove for
the winter. Birds may have nested in the chimney or the masonry may have
cracked. Both chimney and flue pipe must be swept at least once a year. It is
recommended that you have your chimney swept every six months. It may be
necessary to sweep more frequently when damp wood is burnt regularly.
The chimney can be swept through your stove with the throat plate and baffle
removed. It is advisable to remove the bricks too in order to avoid accidental
damage.
