AFFLE YSTEM
To enhance the combustion efficiency and reduce
the emissions of the fire in your stove Hearthstone
has developed an advanced 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
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 is fractured or a hole
is punctured, it will cause the stove to function
improperly. You must replace the board through a
qualified Hearthstone dealer.
