REPLACEMENT OF BAFFLE PLATES
The Nectre N60 is fitted with two thick steel baffle plates
which help to retain the heat in the firebox by lengthening
the path of the flame as well as protect the firebox top.
Over time, the baffle plates may begin to sag a little due
to the excessive heat. This will not affect the way the fire
burns. Eventually the baffle plate(s) will burn through (5+
years) and if so will need to be replaced.
Before the baffle plates can be removed, the firebricks
need to be removed - see below.
To remove the baffle plates:
1.
Lower baffle plate (360 x 260 x 6 mm) - raise the
rear of the baffle until it clears the rear lugs, slide it
forwards and up so that the rear of the baffle can
be brought down into the firebox. Lower the baffle
plate until the front edge clears the front lugs, then
bring it out through the door opening.
2.
Upper baffle plate (300 x 200 x 6 mm) - slide baffle
plate forward, free from the rear support lug, then
down until it clears the front support lugs, and out
through the door opening.
3.
Repeat steps 1 to 2 in reverse to replace with the
new baffle plates.
2.
REPLACEMENT OF FIRE BRICKS
The purpose of the firebricks in the appliance is to increase
thermal mass and to guarantee the longevity of the steel
firebox. Over time the firebricks may become cracked and
crumble away. If so, they should be replaced.
To replace the firebricks:
1.
Move any ash away from the bricks.
2.
Raise the brick retainer and remove bricks.
3.
Replace with new bricks, and refit the retainer
which holds the bricks in place.
