Fireplace Screens
Fireplace screens, hanging rods and necessary hardware
are packed with the Mantel Guard/Hood. These screens
MUST be installed on the fireplace for safe operation.
1. Remove packing and lay screens flat.
2. Insert Screen Mesh Wire Rods into the small rings at the
top of the Screen Mesh Panels.
3. Insert one of the Screen/Rod assemblies into the hole at
end of the Mantel Guard/Hood (either end), start with the
rear hole. The rod will pass through the Mantel Guard/
Hood and then through the wall of the inner firebox (See
Fig. 8).
4. Locate the corresponding hole(Rear Hole), near the center
of the top pannel of the inner firebox, and install a provided
sheet-metal screw through the hole in the Screen Mesh
Wire Rod (see Fig. 8).
Note:
The end of the rod will curve upward to allow a gap
between the rod and the inner top.
5. Repeat step 3 and 4 on the opposite side of the firebox
opening.
Note:
the Screen and Rod assemblies will overlap at the
center of the opening (See Fig. 8).
