Removing and Replacing the Catalytic Combustor
Before replacing the catalytic
combustor, make sure it is
inoperable by conducting the
steps for testing the catalytic
combustor in the section "CARE
& MAINTENANCE". The
catalytic combustor is fragile,
and should be handled
carefully. Before attempting to
remove the catalytic combustor,
allow the fireplace to sit for
approximately 24 hours without
a fire. Refer to the illustration
below while removing the
catalytic combustor.
1. The first step in removing the catalytic combustor is to slide the probe that is connected to the
temperature gage from catalytic combustor. Remove the door by opening it 90 degrees and pulling it
upwards. Make sure to grasp the door by both ends. It is heavy and can be damaged. The
illustration below shows how the probe slides into the catalytic combustor. With one hand reach into
the unit and hold the probe. With the other hand grasp the temperature gage. Making sure the probe
comes straight out of the catalytic combustor, pull with both hands to remove the probe. The left side
of the catalytic combustor may need to be moved slightly to allow the probe to be removed easily.

2. With the probe removed, the catalytic combustor can be slid forward and out of the holder that keeps it
in place. There is gasketing that goes around the catalytic combustor that must be replaced when the
combustor is replaced. Make sure the gasketing is inserted properly and seals the area around the
catalytic combustor.
3. To replace the catalytic combustor, follow the directions in reverse order.
