3. Install the top panel (see the illustration below). Adjust the top panel so its edges are flush with
the side edges of the side panels.
The joggle clips on the
top panel slide over the

the side panels and over
the mounting flange.

4. Adjust the position of the side panels so they are: 1) flush with the bottom of the insert; 2) both
the same distance back from the front of the insert; 3) perpendicular to the floor. Tighten the
nuts that hold the side panels in place.
Insulation Installation
The installation of the insulation is required only for face seal connections. Direct and positive
connections do not require the insulation to be installed.
1. With the insert drawn 12" away from the fireplace, glue the insulation strip included with the
surround panel kit to the back of the panels using RTV silicon or stove gasket cement. The
insulation should be installed so it overlaps the fireplace opening to form a seal between the
panels and the fireplace face. Let the silicon or cement dry.
2. Push the insert into the fireplace, insuring a seal is made with the insulation between the panels
and the fireplace face. Use a screwdriver to tuck any exposed insulation behind the panels.
Brass Trim Installation (Optional)
The optional surround panel brass trim greatly enhances the appearance of your insert and is easy to
install. Follow the directions below to install.
1. Lay the three pieces of brass trim on the floor in front of the insert. Arrange the brass trim so
that it resembles the illustration below. The rounded edge of the trim that will be facing
outwards when installed should be facing down.
2. Insert each "L" bracket leg into the groove in the 45
°
cut end of each side piece. Slide the other
leg of each "L" bracket into the groove in each end of the top piece. Tighten the four set screws
with a screwdriver into the "L" brackets, insuring that the 45
°
cuts are butted together to form a
neat joint. Pick up the brass trim and slide it over the top panel until the trim is flush with the
bottom edge of the top panel.
