REFRACTORY REPLACEMENT
The intense heat of the fire will normally cause
hairline cracks in the refractory. These cracks
can be minimized by proper curing as described
in “First Fires”. They will not normally dimin-
ish the effectiveness of the refractory. If large
cracks develop, then the refractory should be
replaced. To replace the refractory bricks, follow
these steps (see
Figure 4
):
1. Remove the baffle refractory and it’s iron angle
support;
2. Remove the front refractory;
3. Remove the bottom refractory;
4. Remove the sides refractories * ;
5. Remove the back refractory.
* Hold the back refractory when the last side refrac-
tory is removed, to prevent the back refractory to
fall in the firebox.
DOORS ADJUSTMENT
Glass doors may lose their adjustment during
transportation or installation of the fireplace.
A wrong adjustment may cause a loss in
combustion’s efficiency and control. The glass
doors must be parallel, at the same height and
must almost touch each other when closed.
Maximum spacing between the door's glass
is one sixteenth of an inch (1/16’’).
The glass doors can be adjusted by loosening
the three (3) screws of the hinges’ supports
(see fastening screws in
Figure 5)
. If a minor
angular adjustment is needed, you may loosen
only two (2) of the three (3) screws using the
other as a pivot point.
HOW TO USE THE RETRACTABLE DOORS
AND FIRESCREENS
The HE43-2 fireplace features retractable doors
and firescreens in order to allow a wider view
of the fire and save space when the doors are
opened. To retract the doors, simply open them
at 90° and push them into the opening on the
side of the firebox. The same procedure applies
for the retractable firescreens. (see
Figure 3
).
Note: Do not operate the fireplace with both
fire-screen and doors closed at the same time.
