9603 INSERT ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
16. Connect the fan and snap disc wires to the rheostat located on the left side of stove. Install rheostat knob.
17. Secure the wires to the wire support bracket using a tie wrap routed through each hole in the bracket.
NOTE: IF FAN CORD IS ROUTED ON THE LEFT SIDE, SECURE FAN CORD ALONG WITH RHEOSTAT AND SNAP DISC WIRES. IF ROUTED
OUT THE RIGHT SIDE, SECURE TO WIRE SUPPORT BRACKET ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
18. You may position the unit in your existing masonry or listed zero clearance fireplace at this time. If your hearth is lower than
the bottom of the fire place you must install the leveling bolts provided in the insert kit. Spin a lock nut onto each bolt. Locate a
threaded hole underneath the front bottom portion of the fire box, one on the left, one on the right. Insert each bolt and adjust as
needed. Be sure to tighten the lock nut against the bottom of the fire box.
NOTE: If the bolts included in the kit are not long enough, simply obtain the appropriate length at your local hardware store or
purchase a Hearth Extension Kit from your Dealer

the bottom lip on the front of the outer top will engage.
23. Position the main shroud in front of the stove at a 45 deg. angle (top towards you). Engage the bottom “legs” of the shroud
around the outside of the lower left and right shrouds. (Fig. 36, p. 12)
