G. Install Mortar (Optional)

The brick panels have been designed for installation without the use of mortar being necessary. If the look of mortar is preferred, it is vaailable and can be installed. Follow the directions on the container for mixing.

The mortar can be applied with a mortar bag or trowled on. Applying with mortar bag may be easiest and less messy. Clean sparingly as paint will rub off and may need to be touched up. Touch up paint is abailable as an accessory.

•Install the grate if a gas log set is not going to be installed.

•Position the rear grate bar in the Grate Retainer.

•Position the top of the grate retainer over the rear grate bar and fasten in place with screw provided.

VERY IMPORTANT: Allow the mortar 72 hours to cure before operating the fireplace.

If Mortar is applied, it should be applied after finishing material is installed. Mortar will be applied between finishing materials and molded brick edges, bottom and sides.

The seam between finishing materials and firebox top must be sealed with non- combustible sealant.

The surface of the finished hearth extension and the surface of the hearth panel should be level.

The noncombustible finishing material across the top of fireplace opening will be even with lower edge of metal face.

Noncombustible finishing materials MUST overlap
