place is placed in a permanent
location.
Each brick housing is stamped with a number
(full size bricks are not stamped). These num-
bers will help identify the brick when installing.
It is important to install these bricks exactly as
instructed. Press brick rmly into brick housing
until it snaps. Groove line on side of brick will
come in contact with ange on brick housing.
This secures brick into housing (see Figure
24). Smaller bricks may require a small portion
of furnace cement applied to back of brick to
secure it until grouting has been completed.
Bricks are packaged in separate boxes. Brick
matrixes on pages 12 through 15 show how
bricks are packaged and placed for each size
replace and number of bricks per box. There
are 2 extra full bricks included in Hearth Brick
package. Bricks in brick matrixes are labeled
"I" for ivory and "R" for red.
Install bricks one section at a time starting with
hearth panel followed by the rear panel, left
panel and right panel. It is important to install
the bricks in sequence. Please note, full size
bricks are NOT stamped.
