DOOR HANDLE INSTALLATION
The FOCUS 250 door handle is not installed at
the factory to facilitate the fireplace packaging.
1. Take the door handle and door handle
hardware from the manual bag.
2. As shown in Figure 15, place the sleeve
bearing on the front side of the door with the
sleeve passing through the door. The bronze
washer should be placed on the back side of
the door.
3. Insert the steel washer, rounded edges
against the bronze washer, and then the lock
nut.
4. Using a 9/16 wrench, tighten the lock nut on
the back of the handle until the it is snug, but
still rotates freely.
Close the door and refer to page 10 to verify the
door adjustment.
REFRACTORY BRICK INSTALLATION
The refractory bricks are placed in the fireplace
at the factory. If for any reason, they should need
to be replaced, the following order should be
observed. To remove any of the refractory bricks,
just remove the andirons (back parts first, then the front parts) and then follow the installation procedure in the
reverse sequence. Refer to Figure 16 to 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. Place the baffle (1) 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 (2), then the left side refractory brick (3).
5. Then insert the refractory brick on the right side (4) of the firebox but do not position it yet. Ensure that it is
resting firmly against right back corner of the firebox while being tilted at about 45° between the rear refractory
brick and the right side of the firebox and also tilted with its bottom resting at approximately the middle of the
firebox and the top closer to the back right corner (see Figure 17).
6. Next insert the top refractory brick (5) in the firebox and put its left end against the top front part of the left
refractory brick. Lift the right end until it is in a horizontal position and then slide the right refractory brick until it
is in place. The top refractory brick is supported by the two side refractory bricks.
7. Continue by installing the 2 bottom refractory bricks in the firebox (6 on the left and 7 on the right).
8. Finally, install the front refractory brick (8).
These refractory have been designed specifically for the FOCUS 250 and no modifications are required to ensure
a proper fit.
