Installation of Hot Top Bricks
The range hot top sections utilize composite/mortar fire bricks for heat distribution to the burners. Install these bricks before connecting the gas supply line or installing the back riser.
There should be one box of bricks per hot top section.
1.The composite/mortar bricks are shipped in a rectangular cardboard box. Locate the box and carefully remove two 10" x 4" (25 cm x 10 cm), and two 7" x 4" (17 cm x 10 cm) bricks.
NOTE: If a brick has been broken into two pieces, it can still be used. Just place the pieces into position as shown in Fig. 1. However, if a brick is broken into more than two pieces, it will need to be replaced. Contact your local Vulcan servicer.
2.Rest the hot top plate in a secure area.
3.Install two 10" x 4" (25 cm x 10 cm) composite/mortar bricks, placing the miter edge, one to each side of the front burner baffle area (see Fig.1).
4.Install two 7" x 4" (17 cm x 10 cm) bricks, one to each side of the rear burner baffle area (see Fig. 1).
5.If the burner has been strapped down, use wire cutters to remove the wire strapping device.
6.Check to ensure that all bricks and the burner are secure. Carefully replace the hot top section on top of the range.
