Repeat this procedure along all sides of the door. The most important factor for controlling the burning rate of the DELTA is a good seal on the door gasket. If the door gasket is worn or damaged to the point where the seal is not adequate as described above then remove and replace the gasket.
MOVING THE DELTA Due to the weight of the DELTA, we recommend you use a furniture dolly and place the DELTA as shown in Figure 3. The DELTA weighs 620 lbs. complete and 450 lbs. stripped of all firebricks and baffle. The DELTA should be stripped before moving it if possible.
1. Take the nailing strips provided with the unit. 2. Remove the four (4) metal screws on each side of the DELTA facing. 3. Attach the nailing strip to the side of the DELTA using the metal screws that you removed in Step 2 (see Figure 2).
