Installing the surround
Step Nine:
Remove the surround components from
the large cardboard box that accompanied the
Clydesdale Insert. Included are the surround panels,
assembly hardware, Façade Top Grill, and surround
mounting bracket. Refer to the instructions included
with the surround for complete assembly and
installation.
Read this Owner’s Manual
for all other installation
and operational requirements.
Removing & Reversing the Door
To reverse the door to open from the right, first cover
the ash lip cover with cardboard or a towel (to avoid
scratching it), then remove the door.
1. Open and support the door, then remove the
machine screw securing the upper inner hinge.
Lift the door off the lower, inner hinge section.

4. Use a hex wrench to remove the door catch and
the screws (and the door stop if present) on the
right side.
5. Reattach the door catch on the opposite side of
the front, using the same screws. Reattach the
screws (and door stop if present) on the left
where the catch was.
6. Remove the two Phillips head screws where the
hinges will go on the left side – install them on
the right side.
7. Rotate both inner hinge sections 180 degrees
and mount the lower hinge’s inner section on the
left side of the insert.
8. Rotate the door 180 degrees – you do not have
to remove or adjust the handle.
9. Insert the pin in the lower hinge’s outer section.
10. Insert the hinge pin in the upper hinge’s inner
section and place it on the upper outer hinge
section still attached to the door, reinstall any
spacers.
11. Position the door so it is opened about 80
degrees and place it on the lower inner hinge
section.
12. Attach the upper inner hinge section to the insert.
13. Tap the pins down to seat them if necessary.
14. Close the door and check its alignment – ensure
it is square in the opening, and that it does not
drag on the ash lip cover. Adjust the
hinges/spacers if needed.
15. Check the gasket seal using the dollar bill test.
Close the door on a dollar bill – if the bill pulls out
without any resistance at any point this is where it
will leak, adjust the door accordingly.
