MAINTENANCE
Cleaning – If the chimney is to be cleaned without re- moving the insert from the fireplace, the baffle plate (in the firebox) must first be removed. Chimney cleaning should only be done by a qualified chimney sweep. See following – Cleaning / Removing Baffle Plate.
Cleaning / Removing Baffle Plate - To remove, locate
the 3 secondary air tubes, which support the baffle in the upper firebox. They are secured in place by one bolt each at the point where they meet the left wall. Remove bolt and slide tube to the right until it releases. Remove all 3 tubes this way. Next slide the baffle plate all the way to one side until it will drop diagonally into lower firebox. Remove baffle plate through door opening (diagonally).
WARNING! DO NOT OPERATE THE INSERT WITH- OUT THE BAFFLE PLATE PROPERLY INSTALLED. THIS WILL VOID WARRANTY
In the event of a chimney fire - Make sure the fuel door is securely closed. Adjust the primary air control to the lowest (most closed) setting. Call the fire department immediately. After a chimney fire, the complete chimney system should be checked by a qualified technician be- fore further use.
Consult your dealer for suggestions on proper chimney care. Contact your local municipal or provincial fire au- thority for information on how to handle a chimney fire. Have a clearly understood plan for handling a chimney fire.
REINSTALL BAFFLE PLATE
After your chimney has been swept, reinstall the baffle plate. See – Cleaning / Removing Baffle Plate above and reverse steps.
