Fireplace Installation

1.Fireplace should be fully assembled. See Assembling Fireplace in fireplace owner’s manual.

2.Place mantel base close to installation location. See fire- place owner’s manual for installation clearances. Leave enough room to get behind mantel once fireplace and mantel assembly have been attached to base if installing a fireplace with flange.

3.Install gas line. See Connecting to Gas Supply in fireplace owner’s manual. Remember to leave access to the gas shutoff valve somewhere on the base or where it is ac- cessible to the user.

4.Check for leaks. See Checking Gas Connections in fire- place owner’s manual.

IMPORTANT: If your fireplace has a nailing flange see Installing Fireplace with Flange. If your fireplace does not have a nailing flange see Installing Fireplace without Flange, page 4.

Installing Fireplace with Flange

1.Place mantel assembly on wood base and center left to right having back of assembly flush with back of base.

Mark placement on base along inside front of mantel assembly. Remove mantel assembly from base.

2.Position fireplace on base centering left to right between markings. Carefully position gas lines. IMPORTANT: Use caution when positioning fireplace on base as base may scratch.

3.With assistance, carefully place mantel over fireplace (see Figure 8). Fireplace nailing flanges will be to inside of mantel. Align mantel with markings made previously.

Make sure back of mantel is flush with back of mantel base. Adjust fireplace as necessary.

4.Attach mantel to base using 1 1/4" screws through pocket holes. Using brackets and 1/2" or 3/4" screws from bracket hardware kit, attach brackets to base and mantel assembly using one bracket at each back corner of leg sides and one on each leg front (see Figure 9).

5.Adjust fireplace so that it fits into mantel opening properly.
