BRICK INSTALLATION

Installation of brick should be

done after the ﬁreplace is placed

in a permanent location.

The brick housing panels are already installed in

the ﬁrebox. Each housing is stamped with a letter

(full size bricks are not stamped). These letters will

help identify the brick when installing. It is impor-

tant to install these bricks exactly as instructed.

Press the brick ﬁrmly into the brick housing until

it maps. The groove line on the side of the brick

will come in contact with the ﬂange on the brick

housing. This secures the brick into the housing.

See Figure 20 on page 14.
The bricks are packaged in four separate boxes.

These boxes are labeled by sections of the ﬁre-

box.
Box #1 - Hearth Panel
Box #2 - Rear Panel
