Assembling mAntel
imPORtAnt: more than one person is required to as-
semble and lift mantel.
Estimated assembly time: 30 minutes.
When assembling mantel do not tighten screws completely until
told to do so. There should be some play in the pieces to allow for
proper alignment and best possible fit. It is very important that
more than one person assemble mantel together. Panels must be
held in proper alignment to each other while tightening screws to
assure fewer gaps and proper surface alignment. When tightening
screws, do not over tighten. This may cause threads to strip. For
this reason, the supplied Allen wrench should be used rather than
a power screwdriver. The panels have threaded inserts installed to
mark your screw locations. Screws should start and turn easily in
threaded holes when assembled according to instructions. Do not
force screws into holes.
IMPORTANT
: There is a serial number label inside of right side
panel and on outside package. When calling to request technical as-
sistance or for replacement parts please have that number ready.
leg Assembly
1. Lay right side panel (#2) face down on a soft surface to avoid
marking finish. Attach three brackets with 1/2" screws to bot
-
tom of right front leg (#3) leaving screws slightly loose. Face
brackets out toward tongued side (see Figure 1, page 2). Place
right front leg over right side (#2) matching groove in leg to
tongue on side, as shown in Figure 1 on page 2, matching trim
pieces on side with trim on front. Align threaded holes with
brackets on side. Start three 1/2" screws through brackets. Align
bottom of side and leg assembly so they are flush with each
other. Hold these pieces securely in alignment while tightening
(but not over tightening) screws.
