MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
1.
REPLACEMENT OF FIRE BRICKS
The purpose of the firebricks in the appliance is to
increase thermal mass and to guarantee the longevity of
the steel firebox. Over time the firebricks may become
cracked and crumble away. If so, they should be replaced.
To replace the firebricks:
1.
Move any ash away from the base of the bricks.
2.
Remove the brick retainer and remove the bricks.
3.
Replace with new bricks, and refit the retainer
which holds the bricks in place.

REPLACEMENT OF BAFFLE
The 6mm thick steel baffle helps to retain the heat in the
firebox by lengthening the path of the flames, so that they
do not go straight up the flue.
Over time, the baffle will begin to sag a little due to the
excessive heat. This will not affect the way the fire burns.
Eventually the baffle will burn through (5+ years) and if so
will need to be replaced.
To replace the baffle:
1.
Remove the brick retainer and bricks.
2.
Raise the rear of the baffle, bringing it forward
enough to clear the rear support rods. Drop the
baffle down.
3.
Raise the front of the baffle, tilting it back so that it
clears the front support rods.
4.
Once clear of the support rods, pull the baffle out
through the door opening.
5.
Repeat steps 1 to 4 in reverse with new baffle plate.
