Flame Baffle
2-4 Set-Up of Grates
On the Hardy model LC300, open the firebox door and remove everything from inside
of the heater except the two I-beams and three grates. Stand the two I-beams up on
the edge and slide over against the tabs on either side of the ash pan. The grates can
now be placed on the I-beams in line and side to side. The picture below shows the
proper way for grates to be set on the I-Beams.
These grates are designed to be turned over if they warp.
On the Hardy model LC500 there will be two channel beams and one I-beam with the
ends cut at a 45 degree angle. There will also be six grates. Stand the channel beams
on edge with the open side to the inside, and slide them over against the sides of the
firebox. The I-beam will need to be set on edge with the longer edge on top and placed
in the center of the firebox. The grates may then be placed on either side of the I-beam
across to the channel beams, three to a side.
See the picture below for proper set-up.
There is also a stainless steel flame baffle (15” x 10”) in the LC500 heater. This flame
baffle is inserted in the firebox across the 3/4” stainless steel pipes located directly
below the smoke stack.
