MAINTENANCE and SERVICING
The purpose of the firebricks in the heater 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, then they should be replaced soon
after.
To replace the firebricks:
i)
Move any ash away from the base of the bricks.
ii)
Raise the brick retainer so that the bricks can be
removed.
iii)
Replace with new bricks, and refit brick retainer.
1.
Over time the original brick retainer may burn out, in
which case it can be replaced with a new one.
2.
Raise the old brick retainer and remove the firebricks.
Remove the old retainer.
3.
Rotate the new brick retainer on a slight angle to get it
through the door and into the firebox. While holding it
up, refit the firebricks and then fit the retainer over the
top locking them into position.
The Nectre N60 is fitted with two 6mm 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 of the heater.
Over time, the baffle plates may begin to sag a little due to
the excessive heat. This will not affect the way the fire
burns.
Eventually the baffle plates may burn through (5+ years)
and if so will need to be replaced.
Before the baffle plates can be removed, the firebricks
need to be removed.
To remove the baffle plates:
i)
Lower baffle plate (360(w) x 260(d) x 6(h)) :- raise the
rear of the baffle plate until it clears the rear support
lugs, slide it forward and up so that the rear of the
baffle plate can be brought down into the firebox.
Lower the baffle plate until the front edge clears the
front support lugs, then bring it out through the door
opening.
ii)
Upper baffle plate (300(w) x 200(d) x 6(h) mm) :-
slide baffle plate forward, free from the rear support
lug, then down until it clears the front support lugs,
and out through the door opening.
iii)
Repeat steps i) to ii) in reverse to replace with the
new baffle plates.
