Brick InstallationCAUTION: Wear gloves during brick installation in case of sharp edges behind the fireplace insert.
Note: Installation of the baffle boards and baffle blanket is easier when
you can still access the flue outlet, (before connecting the flue vent).
Be sure the baffle blanket is placed flat on the baffle boards so as
not to block exhaust flow to the flue. Use a ruler or a piece of kindling
to reach over the baffle blanket to be sure it is completely flat on top of
the baffle boards.
1. Install bricks #1-18 in the numbered sequence shown in Figure 2.
2. Next, you will install the rear baffle boards which are the smaller
two of the four baffle boards. The boards will be installed with the
3-9/16” dimension from the front to the rear of the firebox. These
boards will be placed on the top side of the rear baffle just to the
rear of the middle secondary tube, you will push the baffle boards
towards the rear of the firebox until they fall in place at the rear side
of the middle secondary tube. You will place one board to the far
left side of the firebox and one board to far right side of the firebox.
Confirm that both boards are laying flat on the rear baffle and that
they are not overlapping each other.
3. Next, you will install the baffle blanket. It will be installed with the
11” dimension from the front to rear of the firebox. Install by lifting
it into place between the front and rear baffle. Place the blanket over
the rear baffle and rear baffle boards that you have just installed. Next
you will place the baffle blanket that is protruding beyond the front
side rear baffle on the top side of the front baffle.
4. The final step of the baffle board & baffle blanket installation will be
installing the front baffle boards. The front baffle boards will be the
two remaining baffle boards which are the larger two baffle boards
of the four baffle board kit. They will be installed with the 7-3/8”
dimension from the front to rear of the firebox. Start by setting the
back side of the board on the rear baffle making sure that it is placed
far enough back to lift up and onto the front baffle. Next you will
place the front edge of the front baffle boards on the top side of the
front baffle and slide them towards the firebox front until it stops
against the front baffle edge. You will do this with each front baffle
board with one to the right side of the firebox and one to the left
side of the firebox. Confirm that the baffle blanket is directly on top
of the baffle boards and that it does not protrude beyond the front
baffle or front baffle boards as shown in Figure 4.
WARNING: IF THE BRICKS ARE NOT INSTALLED EXACTLY AS SHOWN, THEY COULD FALL OUT OF PLACE DURING REFUELING OR BURNING OF THE INSERT, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY.Brick Sizes
