REFRACTORY BRICK INSTALLATION
Before lighting your first fire, you must make sure the refractory bricks are properly installed inside the firebox.
This is easily accomplished with the following instructions. To remove any of the refractory bricks, just follow the
installation procedure in the reverse sequence. Refer to Figure 17 to adequately identify which refractory brick is
the left and which is the right at each step of the installation.
1. First, remove the secondary air tube at the top front of the firebox. To do so, unscrew the bracket located on
the left side of the tube.
2. Then place the baffle (11.9.T) above the other two tubes and ensure its proper orientation: narrow part
towards the rear and grooves towards the bottom.
3. Reinstall the first tube and screw it in place.
4. Continue by inserting the rear refractory brick in the firebox (11.3.T), then the left side refractory brick
(11.1.T).
5. Then insert the refractory brick on the right side (11.2.T) of the firebox but do not position it yet. Ensure that it
is resting firmly on the rear refractory brick.
6. Next insert the arch refractory brick (11.8.T) in the firebox.
7. Then pivot the arch refractory brick until it is in a horizontal position and then slide the right refractory brick
until it is in place. The arch refractory brick is supported by the two side refractory bricks.
8. Continue by installing the 2 bottom refractory bricks in the firebox (11.4.T on the left and 11.5.T on the right).
First, slide the left bottom refractory brick below the square tube located at the front floor of the firebox. Then
install the right refractory brick in the same fashion.
9. Finally, install the 2 front refractory bricks (11.6.T on the left and 11.7.T on the right) and the refractory plug
(11.10.T).
These refractory have been designed specifically for the TOPAZ and no modifications are required to ensure a
proper fit.
