MAINTENANCE
Over time, expansion and contraction will cause minor cracking of
the hearth, back, and side refractory components. This is normal
and unavoidable. If the cracks become large enough or parts dis-
lodge and metal behind the refractory is exposed, the refractory
components should be replaced with new components obtained
from your fireplace dealer.
