Round Flame Guard Frame Assembly
NOTE: During assembly, ensure that the Caution imprint on each
pane of glass is facing downward. When fully assembled, the
Caution imprints must face outward.
Before you begin attaching the Glass Panes to the Brackets, take a
moment to partially back out the Set Screws with plastic nibs on all
Brackets. The plastic nibs fit on to the end of the Set Screws and
will protect the Glass Panes from the metal end of the screws.

Screw holes facing upward, slide one lower corner of the Glass
Pane into the slot on the Flame Guard Foot. Tighten the Set Screw
with plastic nib to secure the Glass Pane to the Foot Bracket.
Attach a second Foot Bracket to the remaining lower corner of
Glass Pane #1 using the same method as used for the first Foot
Bracket. See photo below.
