INSTALLATION

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.

DRAFT CONTROL

Before establishing your fi rst fi re, it is important that 
you fully understand the operation of draft control. 

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 posi-
tion 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, re-

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

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.

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.

Left - Open                Right - Closed

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 positions and have 
not become misaligned during shipping.
