Assembly - Osburn 1600 Owner's Manual

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION: Operation of your Osburn stove without the baffle may cause unsafe and
hazardous temperature conditions and will void the warranty.
NOTE: Before installing the firebrick, check to ensure that none are broken or damaged in
any way. If so, have the damaged ones replaced. Check the firebrick for damage at least
annually and replace any broken or damaged ones with new ones.
cleaning of the chimney is facilitated by the removable baffle.
Install the two thin bricks into either side at the front. The 2.5" x 9" (64x229mm) piece
should be placed at the bottom, placed so that the angled piece of the brick aligns with the
bottom duct. Place the 4.5" x 2.5" (114x64mm) above it and under the brick retainer.
To install the baffle, follow these instructions (To remove, follow the reverse of these
instructions):
1- The ceramic insulation should be installed in place before the baffle bricks. Place
the first piece of ceramic insulation up inside the top of the firebox and place one
side over the baffle brick retainer so that the 13.5" (343mm) length goes from front
to back and the 10.5" ( 267mm) length goes from side to side as shown in Figure 2.
The ceramic blanket should lie over the stainless steel tube, over one side of the
brick retainer and rest on the firebrick sides. The second piece of insulation should
be laid on the opposite side of the baffle brick retainer, over the stainless steel tube
and over the firebrick, directly beside the first piece of ceramic insulation without
overlapping as shown in Figure 2.
Caution: As with all fibrous materials, avoid inhaling any airborne fibers.
2- Place the two bricks with the corners cut out of them under the right and left side
brick retainers and over the side bricks. They should fit so that the angled part
slopes down toward the back.
