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, fol-
low these steps:
1. Remove the front refractories
2. Remove the bottom refractory
3. Remove the left side refractory
4. Remove the right side refractory
5. Remove the back refractory
6. Remove the front ceramic baffle
7. Remove the rear ceramic baffle
To install the new refractories, follow the above
steps in reverse.

DOOR INSTALLATION
The door must be installed only when the installation of the fireplace is completed. All you have
to do is fit the male part of the hinge, already on the door, to the female part, which is on the
fireplace. To remove the door, simply pull the door up from the hinges (see Figure 5). The door
adjustment has been set at the factory. If the fit is still not perfect, you can adjust the door using
the hinge screws.
DOOR ADJUSTMENT
The door may need to be adjusted to be completely airtight. The gaskets’ air-tightness can be
adjusted using the adjustment screw located on the right side of the fireplace facade (An Allen key
#1/8 – not supplied - will be necessary for this adjustment).
Checking Door Seal
A one-inch strip of paper may be used to perform a test of the integrity of the door seal. Close
the door on the paper in at least eight points. It is normal to feel only a slight amount of friction.
The door gasket does not need to be “tight” in all areas, since a small amount of leakage is not
hazardous or detrimental to the performance of your fireplace.
