STEP 24:
Remove the “tie-downs”, but leave the tape in place. The heater now needs to be completely
wrapped with the corrugated spacer supplied, but openings for fire-doors, bake-ovens, air doors
and cleanouts may have to be pre-cut, so that the packing tape is not inadvertently cut.
To pre-cut the opening for the firebox, lay 2 pieces of corrugated spacer on the floor, with their
longest sides butting. Measure up from the bottom of the spacer 13½" and draw a horizontal line
across the spacer. Measure over 6" from either side edge and draw a vertical line at this point.
Remove the door from the frame and place the frame on the spacer, using the two lines drawn to
position the bottom and left edges of the frame. Trace around the entire frame and then remove
the frame. Cut the spacer approximately ½" larger than the traced line on all sides & remove
the piece.
Place these 2 cut pieces on the front of the heater, starting at the bottom. Continue with other
pieces of corrugated spacer around the heater, but pre-cut any holes for cleanouts, air doors,
bake-ovens etc using the same technique as the firebox doors, to prevent cutting the packing
tape. (When installing the cardboard on the back side, it may be helpful to cut the cardboard
vertically part-way through where it covers the ends of the side channels – this will help to
prevent any air gaps from being created in these areas.) Tape the spacer in place. (For corner
units, a flexible “coreflex” spacer is supplied. Wrap this around the heater twice to get the
correct thickness.)
Also cut out a section of spacer in the area of the air intake slot, directly under the firebox, as
illustrated.
