ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
24. When the flange contacts the gasket, install the (4)
#10, 5/16" fasteners provided with the starter pipe.
25. You are now ready to install the fireplace on the
mounting plate. This will require a helper as the
fireplace is quite heavy. Lift the fireplace up and
guide the vent pipe into the vent pipe opening in the
mounting plate. The vent pipe must be at the highest
location possible in the vent pipe opening (almost
touching the inner vent pipe heat shield) to allow the
mounting tabs on the rear of the fireplace to clear the
top of the mounting brackets on the mounting plate.
26. While looking in from the sides, guide the upper and
lower mounting tabs on the back of the fireplace
into the corresponding brackets on the mounting
plate. When the tabs and brackets are aligned, push
the fireplace down and in to engage the tabs in the
brackets. Note: The weight of the fireplace is carried
only on the top brackets. The bottom brackets
function simply to keep the bottom of the fireplace
from moving. Refer to the photo below.
27. If the fireplace is properly positioned on the brackets
the vent starter pipe and vent heat shields should
be concentric when viewed through the vent pass-
through in the wall. Go outside and look in the hole
to confirm this. If you are mounting the fireplace on a
partition wall, look in the pass-through using a mirror
if needed. If the vent starter pipe and vent pipe heat
shields do not appear to be concentric, check to be
sure that the mounting tabs on the fireplace are all
fully engaged in the brackets on the mounting plate
and that the upper two tabs are sitting down on the
upper brackets. If they are not, adjust the fireplace
until they are.
