1. Use a Philips

er or your fingers
to remove the
drywall screws
that are hanging
down next to the
secondary air tubes. These screws were for shipping
purposes only and can be discarded.
2. To remove the tubes, start by removing the cotter pin
on the left end of each tube, then slide the tube to the
right until the tube can be pulled down and left, and
removed from the stove. The four (4) lower tubes are
the same.
3. After all four tubes
have been removed
you can remove the
two piece C-cast baf-
fle.
Be very careful
not to damage the
baffle.
Carefully lift
up on the rear piece
and move it as far
back as possible let-
ting it sit on top of the
steel non-removable
baffle. Next, lift up on
the front piece and
move it to the left and
allow the right side to
angle down into the
firebox until it can be
removed through the
door opening. You can
now remove the rear
piece the same way.
