Replacing Your Catalytic Combustor 

Visually inspect the catalytic combustor at 
least three times during the heating season to 
determine if physical deterioration has 
occurred.  Only replace the combustor if it is 
damaged or no longer operating and use only 
Applied Ceramics Combustors. (See Applied 
Ceramics Warranty for information on 
replacement.) 

Figure 16 

 
The Energy King fireplace has two catalytic 
combustors. To replace combustors, look up 
inside the stove and locate the catalytic 
combustor retainer plate with holes across its 
surface. Remove the bolts on each side of 
the plate and remove the plate. Next, remove 
the catalytic combustors. Position the 
replacement catalytic combustors snugly and 
replace the retainer plate, tightly bolting the 
plate on both sides.
