Twice Yearly Maintenance

Check Firebrick, Baffle

With the fireplace completely cool, remove ash from the firebox (see the instructions on the previous page) and check the firebrick and baffle.

The baffle should be intact - some warping and flaking is not uncommon. It rests on three tabs at the rear of the firebox and should be pushed all the way back. NOTE: the bend should go upwards.

Make sure the firebrick is intact.

Clean the Combustor

With the fireplace completely cool (at least two hours after the last coal has extinguished), use a vacuum cleaner to draw all ash from the catalytic combustor (see the illustration below).

The catalytic combustor is located above the firebox. It can be seen by looking from below with the doors open.

To clean the combustor, use a vacuum cleaner to suck out ash and other deposits inside the square holes of the combustor. The brush attachment is especially effective in removing ash.

WARNING: The combustor becomes extremely hot during operation. Wait at least two hours after the last coal has extinguished before cleaning.

Clean the Blower Filter

The remote blower has a removable cover to allow for cleaning of the filter. This filter can be removed and washed to clean dust and debris. See the directions to the right to remove the filter.
