NOTE:  The baffle in the 3100-I ACT Insert is 2700° Fiber Board.  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 ceramic blanket from above the baffle.

3.  With a 3/16” allen wrench, remove the 2 front manifold tube retainer bolts on the air channel under the end of the front tubes.  

NOTE:  Soak the bolts with penetrating oil for at least 15 minutes before trying to remove them. 

4.  To remove the manifold tubes, slide the tube to one side until one end is out of its hole.  Then, while lifting that end of the fiber 

board, pull the tube up over the air channel and out of the hole at the other end. 

NOTE:  When replacing the manifold tubes, 

be sure the tube with the larger holes is placed in the front for your insert to operate properly.

5.  Slide  fiber  board  forward  to  front  of  stove,  tilt  down  and  slide  to  the  door. Tilt  to  one  side  and  slide  through  door. 

6.  Keep the fiber board baffle tilted as you lift it out of the door.

7.  To  install  the  fiber  board  baffle,  repeat  steps  2  through  4  in  reverse.    Be  sure  that  the  fiber  board  and  ceramic 

blanket are pushed back fully. 

The firebox of your Quadra-Fire 3100-I ACT Insert is lined with high quality firebrick which has exceptional insulating proper-

ties.  There is no need for a grate, simply build a fire on the firebox of your insert.

1.  Remove all old brick and ash from unit.

2.  Remove new brick set from box and lay out to diagram as shown in 

3.  Lay bottom bricks in unit.

4.  Install rear bricks on the top of the bottom bricks.  Slide top of bricks under 

clip on back of firebox wall and push bottom of brick back.

5.  Install side bricks.  Slide top of brick under clips on side of firebox and 

push the bottom of the brick until it is flush with the side of the unit.
