The MEGA LE is fitted with two thick steel
baffle plates which help to retain the heat
in the firebox by lengthening the path of the
flame as well as protect the top plate of the
heater.
Over time, the baffle may begin to sag a little
due to the excessive heat. This will not affect
the way the fire burns.
Eventually the baffle will burn through (5+
years) and if so will need to be replaced.
To remove the baffle plates:
•
Lower baffle plate 500(w) x 300(d) x 12(h)
mm :- raise the rear of the baffle plate,
slide forward free from the support lugs,
and out through the door opening.
•
Upper baffle plate 490(w) x 245(d) x 6(h)
mm :- slide baffle plate forward, free
from the support lugs and out through
the door opening.
•
Repeat steps i) to iii) in reverse to replace
with the new baffle plates.
•
The ash plate acts to protect the front of
the firebox below the door opening from
the hot coal bed and fire.
•
When positioning the ash plate, ensure
that the front top edge is flush against
the inside edge of the firebox beneath
the door opening.
•
This task may be easier with the door
removed from the appliance and laid
horizontally on a work-bench.
•
Remove any old seal from the door.
•
Clean out the groove in the door that the
seal was bedded in using a flat-end screw
driver or equivalent.
•
Run a thin bead of clear roof and gutter
silicone along the groove.
•
Starting at one end, press the new door
seal rope into the groove on the door.
•
Refit the door if it has been removed and
close.
