INSTALLATION OF THE BAFFLE 

The Hotpod baffle plate is a simple device to keep the flames inside the stove body for 

longer, helping make the Hotpod more efficient.

Due to its position in the stove it will catch any soot from the flue and therefore needs 

to be checked on a regular basis to be certain it is not restricting the flue.

It is worth becoming accustomed with how it fits whilst it is new and clean. It is de

-

signed to be installed and removed through the Hotpod door and does not require any 

tools, although rubber gloves are a good idea. Hopefully these images will help. 

The pictures have been done with the stove top removed purely to help you to visual-

ise the inside of the stove.

IMPORTANT! 

ALwAyS MAKE SURE THE HOTPOD IS COLD bEfORE ANy MAINTENANCE

 

 

Finally, looking through the door, make a visual inspection to check that the baffle 

plate is properly located on its shelf. The front edge should be horizontal when viewed 

through the door and there should be a 3 cm gap between the top edge of the baffle 

and the underside of the hotplate.

Note: I find that like with Volkswagens, if you try to force something it will get stuck…

so tease - that’s the key.

Baffled? Hope not.

 

 

3. Drop the back edge down and 

towards the back of the stove until it 

sits on its shelf

4. Lower the front edge into place and 

make sure that both sides are located 

equally

2. Once it is fully inside, push 

it up to the hotplate and 

rotate 90 degrees so that the 

longest flat edge is towards 

the front.

1. Place the baffle plate on your 

flat hand and post it through the 

door aiming high at the back.
