INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPLACING THE BAFFLE SPIRIT 550 LIMIT 380 1. The first stage consists of removing the anchoring bolts of the baffle. This will require an 11mm spanner. 2. Undo the 1/4” (stainless steel) nuts on the back of your stove counter-clockwise with the spanner. To facilitate the process, we recommend you first lubricate the nuts with WD40 or a similar product. 3. Once the nuts are loose, undo them until you have completely removed them from the bolts. Set them aside to avoid losing them.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPLACING THE BAFFLE SPIRIT 550 (continued) 4. To remove the baffle, hold it with both hands and slide it forward so that the bolts separate from the back of the stove. 5. To stop the baffle from falling, tilt it slightly from the back so that you can hold it firmly with your hands. Straighten it and remove it from the stove. 6. To mount the baffle back in it’s original position, insert it into the firebox as indicated by the arrows and rest it on the supports designed for it.
