Installing The Cement Board Panels
WARNING: MAKE SURE THE GUILLOTINE DOOR AND FIRESCREEN ARE BOTH CLOSED BEFORE INSTALLING THE CEMENT
BOARD PANELS.
Refer to Diagram below for minimum area that MUST be covered by the cement board along with recommended minimum dimensions for the various ce-
ments panels to be prepared and installed.
Make sure to use 1” wood screws and only screw where specified in Diagram 18 otherwise you may damage the guillotine system or impede its operation.
Depending on your desired installation for the hearth extension, you need to, or not, install the bottom panel (see the Hearth Extension section).

Confirm that you have not impeded the normal
operation of the firescreen and the guillotine door
by slowly moving them up and down.
Attach the cement boards. The screws will grab
into the metal of the finishing covers offering
more strength.
Screws only in areas shown in this diagram.
NOTE:
Damage to the guillotine system could
result if screws are installed outside of area al-
lowed.
NOTE:
Depending on the finish chosen for the
unit, furring strips may be used—if required.
* This allows for 1-1/2" (38 mm) of facing material to be
added to the perimeter of the lintel. If using thinner material
furring strips can be added to reduce the depth of lintel.
