11. Bafe Removal & Installation
NOTE: The bafe in the North Star Fireplace is 2700° Fiber Board. Removing hardware exposed to combustion processes
can be frustrating. If your reason for removing the bafe is simply to clean the chimney, you have alternatives which will save
time and effort. Call a qualied chimney sweep or an authorized Heat-n-Glo dealer for details.
1. Remove all ash from rebox, and extinguish all hot embers before disposal into a metal container.
2. Remove ceramic blanket from above the bafe.
3. With a 3/16” Allen wrench, remove the front manifold tube retainer bolt on the air channel under the end of the
front tube. NOTE: Soak the bolt with penetrating oil for at least 15 minutes before trying to remove it. See
Figure 31A below.
4. To remove manifold tube, slide the tube to one side until one end is out of its hole. Then, while lifting that end of
the ber board bafe, pull tube up over the air channel and out of hole at the other end. It is necessary to remove
the rst tube in order to remove the bafe.
5. Slide ber board bafe forward to front of replace and straight out through door. See Figure 31B below.
6. To install the ber board bafe, repeat steps 2 through 4 in reverse. Be sure the ber board bafe and ceramic blanket
are pushed back fully and blanket is down and at.

Periodically check the door gasket for proper seal.
As the gasket compresses or “seats” during use, it
may become necessary to adjust or tighten the door
latch.
To Adjust or Tighten Door Latch
Remove spacing washers shown in Figure 31C. At
least one spacing washer must be left in place.
OR
Replace the gasket material. Wear or damage to the
gasket material can cause air leakage into the rebox
resulting in overring and loss of efciency.
A replacement gasket, Part 834-1460 is available
from your dealer.
