BRICK AND INSULATION INSTALLATION (HT-2000)

The stove is normally supplied with secondary air tubes in position. To install the baffle bricks
and white ceramic insulation, it’s necessary to remove the two front secondary air tubes. First
place only one baffle brick and one white ceramic insulation. Use the same method to put the
other baffle brick and insulation. Put back in place the secondary air tubes.

Install the yellow insulation and the 6" x 8" or 6" x 6" bricks. Install the side and bottom bricks.

Figure 5: HT-2000 Refractory Bricks Assembly

AIR TUBES INSTALLATION (HT-2000):

The secondary air tubes are painted different colours . The back tube is yellow, the middle
on is red and the front is unpainted. Before installing, make sure the locating holes in the
tubes (holes near one end of the tube) are on the left side. Insert one tube in the right side
air channel and slide it to the right as much as possible. Bring the left end of the tube aligned
with the ring welded to the left air channel. Move the tube to the left until the locating holes
are aligned with those in the ring. Insert a cutter pin to hold in place. The air injection holes
should be facing down in the front and middle tubes.
