11. Installing Grates: Install grates together, slip shaker
lug into hole and place grates into frame. Grate arch
faces upward. Check out grate rotation by placing
shaker handle on grate lug (3/4"). Grates should ro-
tate freely.
NOTE: Grates are designed to withstand high tempera-
tures, however, should you overfire the furnace you
may fuse or melt grates. This happens if furnace re-
ceives too much air caused by leaving the ash and feed
doors open, draft fan cover wide open, and hot coals
or ashes are excessive in ash pan.
12. Installing Firebrick: Place 5 bricks on each side (10
brick total). The bricks tuck under firebox seem.
