Cabinet Installations
Cabinets are available from your dealer which allow for fast,
convenient installation of your fireplace against existing walls.
For instructions on handling and assembly of your cabinet,
refer to separate installation instructions that come with the
cabinet.
If it is necessary to secure your fireplace into a cabinet as for
installations in a recreational vehicle, the fireplace may be
secured by this method (hardware not supplied):
Remove the glass door from the unit and set aside. 3/16” (5
mm) clearance holes, two (2) per side must be drilled through
the fireplace sides for #8 x 3/4” long black oxide wood screws
or similar. The mounting holes can be located on left and right
sides approximately 2” (51 mm) from the top and 5” (127 mm)
from the bottom of the glass door area. The mounting hole
location distance from the front of the unit must not interfere
with the glass door and the refractory (brick pattern) when
reinstalled. If necessary, modify the cabinet for the mounting
screws to attach. Double check the mounting hole’s locations
on the fireplace before drilling. A small 1/16” (2 mm) pilot hole
or center punch before drilling is recommended. Mark and drill
from the outside to avoid marking or damaging the interior of
the fireplace. Tighten the screws evenly so the unit remains
centered in the opening and without distorting the sides of the
fireplace unit. It is advisable to place wood shims or similar
between the fireplace sides and the cabinet to prevent distor-
tion when tightening the screws. 1/2” (13 mm) Velcro strips for
securing the log to the grate tines and away from the screen
are recommended.
