MODEL BBF CATALYST INSPECTION & REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: Be certain that there is no fire in your Country Flame stove and that the unit has had sufficient time to cool.
CLEANING INSPECTION
To inspect the catalyst, look up inside the stove and locate the catalytic combustor stainless steel plate. Remove the four
bolts that allow the stainless steel plate to be removed. Inspect for a dirty or plugged combustor. If dirty, refer to the
cleaning information provided earlier in this section. Proceed to remove the combustor for cleaning. Once the catalyst is
cleaned, replace the cleaned catalytic system back into the stove.
REPLACEMENT INSPECTION
Visually inspect the catalytic combustor at least 3 times during the heating season to determine if physical deterioration
has occurred. Only replace the combustor if it has become damaged. Cleaning can improve catalytic combustor
performance so before throwing it away, always attempt to clean it before disposing of a non-functioning combustor.
Refer to the cleaning process defined earlier in this section or refer to FIGURE 19 for an assembly diagram to be used in
the replacement process. Replace the catalytic combustor with a complete kit from Country Flame.
REPLACEMENT
Make sure your kit is complete and all parts are available for installation. To replace the catalyst, remove the retainer
plate by removing the four bolts on the plate. Loosen and remove carriage bolt on left side of the catalyst holder. Slide
entire holder system to the right. Caution: As it is slid to the right, the holder, gaskets, and catalyst will drop down. Be
prepared to handle the weight and ensure no damage occurs to the catalyst from mechanical shock.
Now reverse the process and install the new catalyst system into the holder. Push the holder securely against
the top cast clips and align the slots and wedges. Once aligned, slide the holder to the left and into its final
location. Ensure the gasket between the unit’s top and catalyst holder has fixed an airtight seal. Failure to create
an airtight seal will allow gases to bypass the catalyst thus causing accelerated burn rates with reduced heat
output. Position the carriage bolt, washer, and nut into the proper locations. Tighten the bolt and nut but do not
over tighten. Replace the stainless steel plate and bolt it into place with its four bolts.
