GASKET ROPE LOCATION

Place gasket rope along the upper ledge of the air

chamber and on the top of the rear bricks. The top
and bottom flame spreaders come taped together. This
tape will burn away in the initial firing of the unit. On subse-
quent brick removals, the bottom flame spreader must be
taped to the top spreader to ease top brick and baffle
removal and to avoid damaging the fibre baffles.
