FINAL ASSEMBLY
Before using the woodfire, the internal firebox components must be placed in their correct positions.
No force should be required to fit them, and they can be removed, if desired, for flue cleaning.
However, they MUST be in place, and in good condition, before lighting the fire.
All Masport models are supplied with either fire-bricks or insulating board to line the firebox. The LE
2000 has insulating board already fixed in position at the factory. In the other models, two bricks or
boards are to be fitted across the back of the firebox wall, and the others will fit against the end walls.
Each brick or board is fitted in the same way. Angle it into position with its top corner behind the
upper retaining lug, then swing it until it is parallel to the wall with its bottom corner behind the lower
retaining lug. Lower the brick or board into position. In some models there are two boards at each
end. Fit the metal retaining channel over the top edges of these bricks to hold them in line. The wider
leg of the channel goes next to the firebox wall.
Reach down through the flue spigot and carefully remove the polystyrene packing above the firebox
top baffle, remembering that the baffle can be broken by rough handling. Make sure that the baffle is
correctly placed on top of the supporting shelves at each side of the firebox, and that it is back far
enough for the two front corners to drop behind the retaining ribs on top of the shelves. On some
models, a metal reinforcing channel is provided for the baffle. Fit this along the edge of the baffle
nearest the door.
If you need to remove the top baffle, first withdraw the secondary air tube following the instructions
in the Maintenance section.
In cases where a pedestal foot is to be fitted, simply fit the trim into the foot and slide the assembly
onto the pedestal, keeping the foot in contact with the hearth all the time to avoid marking the finish
on the sides of the pedestal.
Finally, refit the door, if necessary, and spread the sand provided evenly over the bottom of the
firebox before lighting the first fire.
