Maintenance and Servicing
1. 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.
Remove the brick retainers and the bricks.
3.
Replace with new bricks, and refit the
retainers which hold the bricks in place.
2. REPLACEMENT OF BAFFLE PLATE
The 25mm thick vermiculite baffle helps to retain
heat in the firebox by lengthening the path of the
flames so that they do not go straight up the flue.
Over time, the baffle may begin to deteriorate a
little due to the excessive heat. This will not affect
the way the fire burns.
Eventually the baffle may wear out (5+ years) and
if so will need replacement. To replace the baffle:
1.
Remove the front baffle retainer.
2.
Shift the baffle to the right of the heater,
lifting the baffle up on the right side.
3.
With the right side of the baffle raised above
the right baffle rail, angle the left side of the
baffle downwards to clear the left baffle rail.
4.
Remove baffle from heater. Ensure rear
retainer is installed on new baffle. Repeat
steps 1 to 3 in reverse to install new baffle.
