Framing
Framing can be constructed before or after the fireplace
is set in place, however, most installers build the frame
before setting the fireplace.
Frame fireplace with 2 x 4 lumber or heavier materials.
Refer to framing dimensions in Figures 1 - 4 for basic
fireplace specifications.
NOTE:
Framing should be positioned to accommodate
wall covering and fireplace facing material.
Firebrick Installation
For the SHR52 model the firebrick is packed separately
and must be installed in the fireplace.
You will need four (4) firebrick, three (3) brick retainers,
a phillips head screwdriver, and the grate.
The side and rear firebrick each have a notch in the top
of the brick panel. The side firebrick have a notch in the
lower front side of each panel. The herringbone pattern
faces out of the fireplace always. (Fig. 11)
NOTE:
The screens and screen rod smoke baffle as-
sembly must be removed and set aside before proceed-
ing. Remove the two screws holding the screens place.
There are seven screws holding the screen rod smoke
baffle in place.
1. Remove the three brick retainers from the combus-
tion dome by removing the phillips screws, set aside.
2. Set the left firebrick in place on the left side of the
fireplace.
3. Slide the rear firebrick back into the left corner be-
hind the end of the left firebrick. Push both panels back
as far as possible into the left side and corner.
4. Swing the right side of the back firebrick into place.
Attach the left brick in place using a brick retainer at the
top and phillips screw removed earlier.
5. Slide the right firebrick into place as far back as pos-
sible. Attach rear firebrick and right firebrick using brick
retainers and phillips screws removed earlier.
6. Slide the hearth firebrick into the grate clip. (Fig. 12)
The grate will be used as a handle to set the hearth
firebrick in place.
7. With the hearth firebrick securely in place in the
grate clip, carefully lift the hearth firebrick into the
fireplace, set the rear of the firebrick down, then slide
back to meet the rear firebrick. Gently set the front of
