MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
. 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 bricks.
2. Raise the brick retainer and remove bricks.
3. Replace with new bricks, and refit the retainer
which holds the bricks in place.
REPLACEMENT OF BRICK RETAINER
4. Remove bricks and old brick retainer from firebox.
5. With the retainer oriented with the arms pointing up
(like a square ‘U’ shape), push one end into the back
corner of the firebox.
6. With the retainer in a diagonal orientation relative to
the firebox, tilt the top slightly forward allowing the
bottom corner to drop into the firebox at the front.
7. Push bottom front corner towards the back of the
firebox allowing the top of the arm to enter firebox.
8. Continue pushing the bottom corner towards rear
of firebox so that retainer sits flat in the firebox.
9. Raise the retainer and re-install the fire bricks.
. REPLACEMENT OF BAFFLE PLATES
The Nectre Mk3 is fitted with two thick steel baffle plates
which help to retain the heat in the firebox by lengthening
the path of the flame as well as protect the firebox top.
Over time, the baffle may begin to sag a little due to the
excessive heat. This will not affect the way the fire burns,
however it is recommended that you turn the baffle over to
avoid continued sagging.
Eventually the baffle plate(s) will burn through (5+ years)
and if so will need to be replaced.
To remove the baffle plates:
1. Lower baffle plate (500 x 300 x 12 mm) - raise the
rear of the baffle plate, slide forward free from the
support lugs, and out through the door opening.
2. Upper baffle plate (400 x 160 x 5 mm) - slide baffle
plate forward, free from the support lugs and out
through the door opening.
3. Repeat steps 1 to 2 in reverse to replace with the
new baffle plates.
