Solution 3.4 Installation and Operation Manual

Step 4:

Reinstall the secondary air tubes and cotter pins in their original location and put the four left hand
side firebricks back into place.

Warning: The baffle on the left (represented bellow) is not positioned correctly. The baffle on the

right is positioned perfectly. It must be on top of the bricks at the rear of the unit. Not
positioning the baffle correctly will lead to over firing and induce premature wear and
tear of the firebox components, which will void the warranty.
