2. Line up the holes with holes in hood being installed. Insert screws and tighten securely.
EXTENDED HOODS.
If your facing material over 1" in thickness is used to finish this fireplace, you must purchase a different hood that will extend out 2" farther into the room. Follow steps 1 and 2 above for installation. Contact your local dealer for details.
