Prepare and Install WinterWarm Cabinet
1. Unpack the carton.
2. Install the flex connector.
Install the flex connector
and attached flue flange to the underside of the cabinet
top using eight #10-1/2” hex head sheet metal screws.
The connector should point forward with the long axis of
the oval running from side to side. (Fig. 40)
4. Install the spark protector strip.
To install the 3” x
38” (76mm x 965mm) spark protector strip, first draw a
line on the hearth parallel and 2” (51mm) in front of the
chase opening. Center the spark protector strip in the
chase opening, with the outside edge on the line. Nail
or screw the strip down, painted side up, so that the
fastener heads are flush with the surface of the spark
protector strip. (Fig. 42)

The parts supplied for this procedure include 16 sheet
metal screws and one each of the following: an up-
per trim panel, a left trim panel and a right trim panel.

pen for marking.

responding holes in the left edge of the fireplace
opening on the cabinet. The notch in the flange
should align with the notch in the cabinet front, ap-
proximately 4” (102mm) from the bottom.

the trim panel using 5 of the hex head sheet metal
screws provided.
c. Repeat this procedure to install the right panel.
d. Position the upper trim panel on top of the side pan-
els and centered on the face of the cabinet.

each flange of the upper trim panel on the cabinet,
and drill 1/8” (3mm) holes. Secure the panel to the
cabinet with 6 sheet metal screws.
