8. With the 550 Arch front,
the hearth fender hooks
into place on the inner cast arch.
9. Install the barrier screen by snapping the barrier
screen’s top part to the inner arch. Then slide the
screen up slightly under the hood, snap the bottom
of the barrier to the inner arch and slide the screen
back down so it rests on the cast fender’s upper
edge.
6. Secure the Outer Cast Plate to the appliance
with
self-tapping screws provided as shown. Tighten the
screws enough to ensure a tight fit between casting
and sheet metal parts.
(It may be necessary to re-drill 1/8” pilot holes for
the self-tapping screws due to misalignment caused
by shifting tolerances with the cast iron arch.)
Note: The weight of the cast plate must not be
carried by the connection to the heater. It must
sit on a hearth or be securely screwed to the
wall.
7. Hang the Inner Cast Arch
. Insert the mounting
hooks into the notches in the outer cast plate
as shown. The fit or gap between the inner cast
arch and the outer cast plate may be tightened by
bending the mounting hooks slightly inwards.
Do not bend the hooks too far or the inner arch
will be difficult to remove!
If this happens, a screwdriver inserted through the
gap between the back of the inner arch and the
heater should be able to pry the hook away from
the backing plate.
Do not hit the hooks with a
hammer as this may break the welds holding
them.
Slide the hearth fender up to the front of the
casting.
Note: It is important that the hearth in front of
heater be flush with the bottom of the heater;
otherwise the hearth fender will not rest at the
proper height.
