REPLACING THE BAFFLE PLATE
The baffle plate helps to retain the heat in the firebox by
lengthening the path of the flame before it goes up the flue.
Over time, the baffle plate will begin to sag a little due to the
excessive heat. This will not affect the way the fire burns.
Eventually the baffle plate will burn through (5+ years) and
will need to be replaced.
To remove the baffle plate:
1)
Remove any excess ash and coals.
2)
Remove the brick retainer and bricks from the rear and
sides of the firebox.
3)
Slide the baffle plate forward so that it can be lowered at
the back.
4)
Lowering the rear of the will allow the front to slide past
the front support pins.
5)
Once the baffle has cleared the front support pins, it can
be removed from the firebox on an angle.
6)
Repeat steps 1) to 3) in reverse to fit the new baffle plate
(see image below for correct baffle placement).

ADJUSTING THE DOOR
If the door does not close firmly, the latch can be adjusted.
The latch is fastened onto the door with two removable
washers. Use a socket wrench to undo the M12 nut, then
remove one of the washers directly beneath the nut. Securely
fasten latch assembly again.
Close the door with the door handle to test for any
improvement. If no improvement, remove second washer.
