Firebacks protect the walls of the heat chamber in a fireplace from premature cracking and degradation. They also boost a

fireplace's heat output by reflecting more of the fire's heat into the room and not up the chimney.

[Optional Installation Method: center the fireback right to left in the firebox and then lean it against the rear wall of the firebox.]

STEP 1

Remove all existing equipment from the fireplace, including grates, andirons, and/or gas logs. Clean the firebox by properly storing or disposing

of all coals/ashes.

STEP 2

Inspect the firebox for severe cracks, voids, or refractory failure and if necessary contact a professional to repair any existing damage.

STEP 3

Place the support brackets/feet [included in the fireback packaging] into the base of the fireplace and position the fireback into the same slot on

both brackets. The slots in the brackets allow for a slight forward-leaning, straight upright, or a slight rear-leaning stance. Select the desired

position to maximize heat output. Center the fireback right to left in the firebox and approximately 1" from the back wall. It may be necessary

to rotate the brackets to select the desired position.

STEP 4

Re-install andirons, grates, and other equipment removed in Step 1.
