ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Installing the Outer Panels
The outer top and bottom panels are secured to the
fireplace mounting plate with sheet metal screws. All
other screws are philips head machine screws.
1. Install the outer top panel first. Align the three holes
along the rear edge of the panel with pilot holes along
the top edge of the fireplace mounting plate. Insert and
tighten the three sheet metal screws. A magnetic nut
driver is helpful.
2. Install the outer left side panel next. Align the three holes
along the rear edge of the panel with the PEM nuts
along the edge of the fireplace mounting plate. Insert the
three philips head screws but do not fully tighten.
3. Locate the fastener hole at the top front edge of the
outer left side panel and align with the PEM nut in the
front of the top panel. Insert the philips head screw.
4. Make sure the edges of the panel are aligned with the
edges of the top outer panel and mounting plate and
tighten all four philips head screws.
5. Position the outer right side panel so it aligns with the
three PEM nuts on the mounting plate and the front
PEM nut on the top panel. Align the rear and outer top
panel edges with the adjoining parts and insert and
tighten the four philips head screws.
6. Install the outer bottom panel next. Guide the rear
flange on the panel upward until the mounting holes in
the flange line up with the pilot holes in the mounting
plate.
7. Attach the panel to the mounting plate using sheet
metal screws along the back edge of the panel.
Note:
It may make installation of the sheet metal screws
easier if you remove the two lower surround mounting
brackets from the front of the fireplace. A magnetic
nut-driver will also be helpful.
