Baffle Removal
Figure 10
To remove the baffle, lift the back of the baffle up to clear the inner back of the stove and
slide towards the front of the Stove. The baffle will slide out of the keyhole slots and drop
down.
When putting the baffle back in the stove, make sure the screws are in the keyhole
slots and the back of the baffle is lifted up over the inner back to keep the Baffle locked in
place.
3. Exhaust System. Periodic cleaning of the exhaust system is required. Under certain
conditions, chimneys may plug up rapidly. Dirty/High moisture content Corn and poor
installations require more frequent chimney cleanings.
See Page 5 “Preventing
Chimney Fires”, if burning pellets.
The products of combustion will also contain small
particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust vent and restrict the flow of
the flue gases. Judge the frequency of cleaning by checking the amount of ash that
accumulates in the elbows or tee’s of the exhaust system. Ask the dealer for suggested
frequency of cleaning, equipment needed and procedures for cleaning. Check the
Exhaust system and Ash Traps at least once every two months during the heating
season.
4.
Gaskets. Periodically inspect the condition of the rope gasket around the door,
window and ash door. Replace as needed.
