the door on a dollar bill. If the bill pulls out
without any resistance, then your stove's door

To enhance the combustion efficiency and reduce the
emissions of the fire in your stove, Hearthstone has
developed a THERMO-CERAMIC baffle system. This
system uses a lightweight, durable ceramic material
above the burner tubes to maintain the high
temperatures in the secondary combustion area and
maintain the low emission – high efficiency combustion
you desire. This material will not corrode, rust dissolve
or lose its strength, however it is vulnerable to puncture
or cracking due to rough handling.
PLEASE EXERCISE CARE WHEN LOADING WOOD
OR CLEANING YOUR STOVE, NOT TO DAMAGE THE
Thermo-Ceramic BAFFLE
Located directly above the burner tubes in the firebox,
this white, gray, or brown sheet of material will break if
wood or cleaning brushes impact it. Be careful when
loading and cleaning your stove to not break this
material. If this piece has been fractured or a hole is
punctured, it will cause the stove to function
improperly. You must replace the board through a
qualified Hearthstone dealer.
