Surround Assembly

All fasteners have already been installed in the 

appropriate locations at the factory. You will need to 

remove them, attach the parts together as described 

below and reinstall the fasteners at those locations.
1.   Layout the parts.   Place the castings face down on 

a protective surface such as carpeting, blankets or a 

sheet of cardboard. See fig. 13.

2.  Attach the Breastplates to each other. 

Use a 10 mm socket or wrench with two M6 x 10 hex 

head flange bolts. Adjust the set screw to obtain 

parallel alignment of the two plates.

3.  Attach the Leg plates.  The Legs must be oriented with 

the Hang Tabs on the inside edges as shown in fig. 13. 

Use the two remaining M6 x 12 hex head flange bolts 

to attach the Legs to the Breastplate assembly. 

4.  Attach the two Plinth half-panels together with the 

single M6 x 10 hex bolt. Attach the Plinth Mounting 

Bracket to the back of the Plinth assembly using the 

other two M6 x 10 bolts and washers. Orient the 

bracket as shown in fig. 14. 

5.  If appropriate, attach the Extended Surround Panel to 

the firebox. See illustration on page 6.  With the painted 

side facing out, engage the hooked tabs on panel with 

the slots in the backside of the Surround Brackets on the 

firebox. Extend the blower power cord out beyond the 

front of surround panel.

6.  Attach the Bottom Trim assembly to the two studs 

located in the firebox floor between the blowers using 

the M6 nuts already in place.

7.  Attach the Surround assembly to the Firebox.   

Lift the entire assembly upright and position it in 

front of the insert firebox. The four Hang Tabs on the 

surround legs must engage with the adjacent cutouts 

in the two adjacent support brackets on the sides of 

the firebox opening. The surround will easily engage 

with these brackets if the firebox is slightly proud of the 

fireplace opening.

8.  Check the alignment of the breastplates for “bowing” 

and adjust the set screw as necessary.

9.  Push the entire unit into position so that the surround is 

flush against the fireplace face.

firebox and avoid contact 

with the plinth assembly.
