IMPORTANT: Installation of brick
should be done after the fire-
place is placed in a permanent

preinstalled. It is held in place for ship-

any of the other firebrick walls.

wall into the fireplace opening and into
the slots on the side of the hearth (Figure

the firebox surround.

3. Secure the firebrick wall using 2 of the
retainers provided. The bracket will slip
underneath the metal lip on the top of the
wall and screw into the inner dome of the
fireplace (Figure 15).
4. Install the rear firebrick wall last. Place
the wall face side down on the hearth with
the bottom of the wall toward the rear of
the firebox and the top toward the front of
the fireplace. Tilt the wall up toward the
back of the firebox. Secure with remaining
retaining brackets provided (Figure 15).
