The
throat
plate

plenum
and

its
position
before

bring
it
forwards.
Tilt
it
at
an
angle
to
withdraw
it,

from
the
front
of
the
stove.
It
may

To

Baffle
Plate
Removal
and
Replacement
Note
the
position
before
removal.
To
remove
baffle
plate,
it
is
necessary
to
remove
the
side
bricks.
These
can
be
removed
by
raising
them
slightly
to
clear
the
recess
in
which
they
sit
and
gently
withdraw
forwards
making
sure
that
the
rear
tab
is
not
damaged.
The
baffle
can
now
be
withdrawn
by
sliding
it
up
and
forwards
so
it
clears
the
two
angled
brackets
on
the
back
of
the
stove,
then
slide
it
back
and
down
to
come
away
from
the
top
bracket.
To
replace,
reverse
the
process
ensuring
that
the
cut
out
in
the
baffle
is
to
the
rear
of
the
stove.
At
the
end
of
the
cleaning,
make
sure
that
all
parts
are
located
correctly.
Sweeping
the
Chimney
Your
chimney
should
be
cleaned
each
year
before
starting
to
use
your
stove
for
the
winter.
Birds
may
have
nested
in
the
chimney
or
the
masonry
may
have
cracked.
Both
chimney
and
flue
pipe
must
be
swept
at
least
once
a
year.
It
is
recommended
that
you
have
your
chimney
swept
every
six
months.
It
may
be
necessary
to
sweep
more
frequently
when
damp
wood
is
burnt
regularly.
The
chimney
can
be
swept
through
your
stove
with
the
throat
plate
and
baffle
removed.
It
is
advisable
to
remove
the
bricks
too
in
order
to
avoid
accidental
damage.
