Masonry Retainer Kit Option

INSTALLATION

Non-Combustible Material

Do not restrict air flow through the top and bottom louvers of the fireplace. This will cause overheating and possible ignition of surrounding materials. Top louver maybe closed only if gravity feed kit option is used.

For a non-selfsupporting veneer ﬁ nish only.

1)Framing and plywood cannot extend past the side and top stand-off spacers. Allow for the thickness of the Non-Combustible Material when framing so that the front of the Fireplace and the Non-Combustible Material are ﬂ ush.

2)Unscrew the top stand-off and move the ceramic blanket forward so it will be tight against the mesh to make a seal.

4)Place side metal ﬁller strips in between stove and framing to cover the stand-off space. Fit the strips behind "A" so that they cover the stand-offs, and will prevent mortar from falling through the mesh.

5)Center door arch edge, mark and drill holes. Note the top of the side pieces meet up with the edges of the center arch. Attach arch edge and bottom of grill edge to unit. The door arch ﬂ oats at each end so that it can be adjusted to match the curve of the door.

2" (51mm) x 4" (102mm)

3)Mesh must be positioned one way only to allow the mortar to hold and not slide off. Place "Middle" mesh (A) on the front and position top grill edge frame. Check dimen- sions from opening and mark and drill screw holes.Dependingontheinstallation,heavier reinforcing wire screen may be required to bridge the stand-off spacer area around the perimeter of the unit. Hold in position with 2 screws while the door arch is centered.
