The purpose of the firebricks in the appliance
is to increase thermal mass and to guarantee
the longevity of the steel firebox. Over time
the firebricks may become cracked and
crumble away. If so, then they should be
replaced soon after.
To replace the firebricks:
•
Move any ash away from the base of the
bricks.
•
Raise the brick retainer so that the bricks
can be removed.
•
Replace with new bricks, and refit brick
retainer.
Firebrick configuration:
•
Base of the firebox has 2 outside rows of
full bricks measuring 234 x 118 x 40mm
and a centre row which are shorter in
width measuring 200 x 115 x 40mm
•
Sides of firebox have 8 full bricks standing
on their ends.
•
Back of firebox is lined with 5 full bricks
standing on their ends.
•
Remove the side and rear fire bricks
before fitting the brick retainer.
•
With the retainer orientated with the
arms pointing up (like a square ‘U’ shape),
push one end into the back corner of the
firebox.
•
With the retainer in a diagonal orientation
relative to the firebox, tilt the top slightly
forward allowing the bottom corner to
drop into the firebox at the front.
•
Push the bottom front corner towards
the back of the firebox allowing the top
of the arm to enter the firebox.
•
Continue pushing the bottom corner
towards rear of firebox so that retainer
sits flat in the firebox.
•
Raise the retainer and re-install the fire
bricks.
