REFRACTORY REPLACEMENT

The intense heat of the fire will normally cause
hairline cracks in the refractory. These cracks
can be minimized by proper curing as described
in “First Fires”. They will not normally dimin-
ish the effectiveness of the refractory. If large
cracks develop, then the refractory should be
replaced. To replace the refractory bricks, fol-
low these steps:
1. Remove the front refractories
2. Remove the bottom refractory
3. Remove the left side refractory
4. Remove the right side refractory
5. Remove the back refractory
6. Remove the front ceramic baffle
7. Remove the rear ceramic baffle
To install the new refractories, follow the above
steps in reverse.

DOOR INSTALLATION

The door must be installed only when the installation of the Montecito™ fireplace is completed.
All you have to do is fit the male part of the hinge, already on the door, to the female part, which
is on the fireplace. To remove the door, simply pull the door up from the hinges (see Figure 4).
The door adjustment has been set at the factory. If the fit is still not perfect, you can adjust the
door using the hinge screws.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT

The door may need to be adjusted to be completely airtight. The gaskets’ air-tightness can be
adjusted using the adjustment screw located on the right side of the fireplace facade (An Allen key
#1/8 – not supplied - will be necessary for this adjustment).
Checking Door Seal
A one-inch strip of paper may be used to perform a test of the integrity of the door seal. Close
the door on the paper in at least eight points. It is normal to feel only a slight amount of friction.
The door gasket does not need to be “tight” in all areas, since a small amount of leakage is not
hazardous or detrimental to the performance of your fireplace.

DISPOSING OF ASHES

Remove ashes only when the fire is out and
the ashes are cold (24 to 48 hours after the
fire is out).
WARNING
Disposal of Ashes: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dis-persed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
