Installation
Wall
Unit
1.
Select the position of the fireplace on the wall to which it is to be
mounted. Draw a
level
horizontal line on the wall at the required
height. This line will correspond to the top of the fireplace so it is
important to allow for the extra height of the glass face.
2.
Mark the center line of the fireplace on to the horizontal line.
3.
Place the Installation Plate along the horizontal line and line up the
center “V” cut out with the center line.
See Figure 1.
4.
DRYWALL INSTALLATION
Install screws provided into studs at 4 outside corner screw holes. If
studs are not present, install self drilling hollow wall anchors
provided at the 4 outside corners and
find wood studs with at least 4
more screws on the mounting plate (two high and two low). Holes are
offset to allow finding wood studs at normal spacing. Attach more
screws into larger models as needed.
5.
If a firm attachment cannot be achieved it may be necessary to install
extra support to the framing. It is most important that the mounting
plate is firm and solid and that the structure is capable of holding the
weight of the fireplace and trim kit.
6.
The mounting plate has two location pins, top corners of the plate.
See Figure 1.
