Quadra-Fire 3100 Stove User Manual


 
BAFFLE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
NOTE: The baffle in the 3100 stove is heavy (29 pounds). Moving the baffle around inside the stove takes
strength and patience. Removing hardware exposed to combustion processes can be frustrating. If your reason
for removing the baffle is simply to clean the chimney, you have alternatives which will save time and effort.
Call a qualified chimney sweep or an authorized Quadra-Fire dealer for details.

1. Remove all ash from the firebox, and extinguish all
hot embers before disposal into a metal container.
2. Remove the kaowool blanket from above the baffle.
3. Remove the firebrick from the sides of the stove.
4. With a 3/16” allen wrench, remove the secondary
combustion tube retainer bolts on the secondary
air channel under the end of each tube. NOTE:
Soak the bolts with penetrating oil for at least 15
minutes before trying to remove them.
5. To remove the secondary combustion tubes, slide
the tube to one side until one end is out of its hole.
Then, while lifting that end of the baffle plate, pull
the tube up over the secondary air channel and out
of the hole at the other end. NOTE: When
replacing the secondary tubes, be sure the tube with
the larger holes is placed in the front.
6. To remove the baffle plate, use both hands to lift
it from the alignment pin at the center rear. Then
tilt the baffle as you slide it to one side, until the
other side clears the shelf.
