BRICK FLUE BAFFLE &
SECONDARY AIR TUBE

INSTALLATION

The fl ue baffl e system located in the upper area
of the fi rebox is removable to make cleaning
your chimney system easier. The brick baffl es
must be installed prior to your fi rst fi re. Smoke
spillage and draft problems may occur if the
baffl es are improperly positioned.
Check the
position of the brick baffl es on a regular basis as
they can be dislodged if too much fuel is forced
into the fi rebox.

FIREBRICK ASSEMBLY

Firebrick is included to extend the life of your
insert and radiate heat more evenly. Check to
see that all fi rebricks are in their correct posi-
tions and have not become misaligned during
shipping.

DRAFT CONTROL

Before establishing your fi rst fi re, it is important
that you fully understand the operation of draft
control. The draft control rod is on the left side
of the Insert and it controls the intensity of the
fi re by increasing or decreasing the amount
of air allowed into the fi rebox. To increase the
draft, slide the rod to the left and to decrease
the draft, slide the rod to the right.

1) If the two air tubes are installed continue

on to Step 2), if not, follow the instructions
below. Install the air tube into the holes in the
side channels. The notch goes on the right
hand side with the air holes facing toward
the door. Slide the tube into the left hand
side, as far as possible and then bring it back
into the hole on the right hand side until it
locks into position. If the tube will not slide
in easily simply use a pair of vise grips or
pliers and tap it into place with a hammer. A
tighter fi t will ensure the tube will not move
when the unit is burning.

2) Slide the left baffl e brick over the front air

tube and then slide it back over the rear air
tube.

3) Tilt the left baffl e brick up on top of the side

channel and it will leave enough room to
position the right baffl e brick in the same
manner as Step 1) above. Then reposition
the left baffl e brick fl at on the air tube.

4) Important: push both baffl e bricks so

they are tight against the side walls and
to the back.

Note: When getting the chimney cleaned,

remove the baffl e bricks for access
to the fl ue, then replace them when
cleaning is completed.

As well as a primary and glass wash air system,
the unit has a full secondary draft system that
allows air to the induction ports at the top of the
fi rebox, just below the fl ue baffl e.

WARNING: To build a fi re in ignorance or to
disregard the informa tion contained in this
section can cause serious permanent dam-
age to the unit and void your warranty.
