are shipped under the burner cover, inside the fireplace.

burner cover.
See Figure 8.
Figure 8
3. The brackets have a perforation located on each end. Bend
them at the perforation.
See Figure 9.

4. Secure the brackets to the fireplace top with four screws as
shown in
Figure 10.
The screws are located in the hardware
packet inside the envelope pack. There are holes located
in the top of the fireplace for each mounting bracket. The
hole closer to the edge of the fireplace is for mounting
noncombustible board around the opening. The other hole is
for mounting the non-combustible board to the fireplace face
(top, side and bottom).

the framing brackets allow different size boards and different
locations for the boards.
See Figure 11.
Bend the brackets
at 90° angles. Install four framing brackets with two 10 x 1/2
screws (each).
See Figures 13 and 14.
Use the front set of
holes if mounting around fireplace window. Use the back set
of holes if mounting around the fireplace face (top, sides and
bottom). Note: The non-combustible board provided is 1/2"
thick.
