Baffle Removal
To remove the baffle, lift the back of
the baffle up to clear the inner back
of the Stove and slide towards the
front of the Stove. The baffle will
slide out of the keyhole slots and
drop down.
When putting the baffle back in the
Stove, make sure the Tabs are in the
Keyhole slots and the back of the
baffle is lifted up over the inner
back to keep the Baffle locked in
place.

Exhaust System.
Periodic cleaning of the exhaust system is required. Under certain
conditions chimneys may plug up rapidly. Dirty grain that has high moisture content or
pellets with high ash content or installations with elbows and horizontal runs require more
frequent chimney cleanings. See Page 23
“Preventing Chimney Fires”.
The products of
combustion will also contain small particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust
vent and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Judge the frequency of cleaning by checking the
amount of ash that accumulates in the elbows or tee’s of the exhaust system. Ask the dealer
for suggested frequency of cleaning, equipment needed and procedures for cleaning. Check
the exhaust system at least once every two months during the heating season.
6.
Gaskets.
Periodically inspect the condition of the rope gasket around the door, window and
ash door. Replace as needed.
7.
Air Filter.
Check the Air Filter at least once a month and clean or replace when needed. The
filter material may be purchased at a local hardware stove and cut to size to fit into the filter
bracket.
Many dealers offer a Service Contract that will cover Yearly Maintenance. Contact
your St. Croix Dealer for assistance in maintaining your Stove in top condition.
