FIREBOX LINER PANELS
The Villager Esprit stove use firebox liner
panels to the sides and back. The standard style
throat plate sits on top of the sides and rest on the
top surface of the tertiary air inlet. These should
come fitted to your stove, if however they are not,
proceed as follows to fit them.
 Open the main fire door.
 Remove the fuel retainer, by lifting both
ends free of the side landings and diagonally
rotating the part through the door aperture.
 Remove the wood burning tray
 Set the small liner(s) into the back of the
firebox, below the tertiary air bar.
 Insert the Throat plate (Standard style only)
into the stove and manoeuvre into position
with the back lip sat onto the tertiary air bar.
 Holding the throat plate (Standard style only)
up as high as possible, Insert the side liner
panels. (See Fig. 7) these go in front of the
rear liners.
 Allow the throat plate to drop back down
onto the side liners as shown in fig.8a
Ensure the side liner retaining lip is correctly
positioned as detailed in fig.8b
 Replace the wood burning tray and front
fuel retainer.
Note: Neither the rear firebox liners nor the
side firebox liners are ‘handed’, both faces are
suitable for direct contact with the fire bed.
Note : Cracking of the liner panels does not
effect efficiency.
