Remove and Inspect the Combustor

•Wear safety glasses, a dust mask, and gloves.

•Remove the four bolts that secure the stove top plate. There are two each on both the left and the right side, just under the top plate overhang. With the bolts removed, lift the top.

The combustor is located beneath the removable re- fractory package.

•Carefully remove the refractory package. It is ex- tremely delicate; handle it as little as possible.

•For a visual inspection for blockage that can be performed without removing the combustor, have an assistant shine a bright flashlight beam up through the combustor from inside the stove’s firebox.

•If combustor removal is necessary for cleaning or closer inspection, lift it gently out of its chamber. You may have to work it back and forth carefully to remove it. Check the combustor and the bottom of the refractory chamber for a build-up of fly ash, and remove any ash by gently blowing air through the combustor. Do not brush the surface, as this could damage the element.

•Inspect the combustor, referring to the information

in the “Catalytic Combustor Appendix” on Page 27 for information on what to look for. Although small hair- line cracks will not affect performance, the combustor should be essentially intact. If the combustor is broken in pieces or has sections missing, it should be replaced. Call your local Dutchwest dealer for a replacement combustor, item #CB56. Consult the warranty section at the back of this manual for further information on catalytic combustor replacement.

•If the combustor is in good condition and clean, re- install it. Be sure first to carefully wrap a new Interam gasket (an extra was provided with your stove) around its perimeter before replacement. Insert the gasketed combustor gently back into position, and replace the refractory package.

•Before replacing the stove top, check the damper. If the gasket is intact, but the damper isn’t locking tightly, adjustment should be made. Also check the gasket that seals the top plate.

•Gasket should be replaced only if damaged or miss- ing. The top plate uses a 3/8” gasket and the damper is sealed with a 3/8” gasket. The procedure for remov- ing the old gasket and installing the new is the same as that described for door gaskets on Page 19.

•Replace the stove top, and tighten the four top plate bolts that secure it. Be sure that the top plate seats properly before tightening, and tighten the bolts alter- nately as you would tighten the bolts that secure a car tire.

Watch for Better Results

Finish up by cleaning the chimney connector. Then, use the stove in your typical manner for two weeks and note the stove’s performance, taking special note of the performance tests described above.

If a problem persists, contact your Dutchwest dealer for further advice about your particular situation.
