The hearth cannot be installed on
carpet. If carpet is on the floor, pull it
back, position the hearth, and cut the
carpet to match the footprint of the
hearth.
The hearth must be located and the
baseboard cut before the firebox can be
installed. Make sure that the hearth is
located on the center line of where you
want the fireplace to rest, mark the base-
board, and cut them to match the edge of
the hearth.
The hearth, in most cases, will have to
be set into a bed of thinset cement in or-
der to insure that it is perfectly level and
fully supported.
It is best to do a dry fit of a leg and
backpanel in order to locate the firebox.
Carefully place a leg into position on the
hearth, making sure that it is the correct
end up.
Note; when placing any of the granite
parts take special care to not chip any
edges. Take care not to stand on the
hearth as this may cause it to lose level!!
Make a small pencil mark on the hearth
surface. This will be your reference point
for positioning the firebox. When the
Bolero front is mounted onto the firebox,
the back of the cast front will be in line
with this pencil line you just made.
Butter the bottom of the hearth with a
thin bead of the cement provided, and
reset the hearth into position.
Insure that the hearth is level. A couple
of wood shims [not supplied for this
purpose] carefully positioned under the
hearth can help keep it level while the
cement dries. Make sure that any shims
used are removed and the holes touched
up with cement.
You will have to construct a riser of
wood on which the firebox can be set.
This would finish off flush with the
hearth surface.
