Remove the lower fireback by pulling the upper edge toward the front of the stove. Then lift it and angle it out
of the stove through the front door. Scoop out any ashes in the bottom groove where the lower edge of the
lower fireback sits. Inspect the gasket on the back of the fireback and replace if damaged.
6.
Remove the left and right air plates (inner walls). 7/16" hex head bolts at the top and bottom hold them in
place. These air plates have rope gaskets sealing them to the ends of the stove. With the bolts removed, pry the
forward edges of the plates toward the center of the firebox and remove them through the front or griddle
opening.
7.
If the stove has a rear heatshield, remove the four bolts holding it in place and put it to one side. Four hex head
bolts hold it in place.
8.
Remove the upper fireback. A hex head bolt on each side of the stove upper back holds the upper fireback
assembly in place. Remove the bolts and washers. From inside the firebox, pull the right hand end of the upper
fireback toward yourself; you may need to use a flat head screwdriver to pry the fireback loose from the rear
panel behind it. Slide over and down clearing the damper rod out of the left side.
9.
Remove the catalyst access panel, part of the refractory assembly that houses the catalytic combustor. It is
friction fit into place. Wiggle it slightly to remove it. Take note of its position for reinstallation.
10.
Remove the catalytic combustor, inspect and clean it and put it aside. Do not use compressed air to clean fly
ash out of the honeycomb.
11.
Carefully pull the entire refractory package straight forward. Leave the steel heat exchangers in place in the
left and right sides of the stove back.
12.
From the back of the stove, remove the secondary air access cover and put to one side with the two Phillips
screws. Unscrew the probe assembly and lift it off the linkage. Put it to one side.
