will occur when sliding the insert in or out.

 

There are four (4) holes located as shown, that are

 

threaded for 5/16 - 18 bolts. Thread the bolts down

 

through the holes to raise the frame corners as

 

needed, to level.

 

The mounting frame is the anchor for the appli- ance. If the frame is not secured properly, shifting will occur when sliding the insert in or out.

Most importantly, the frame must be level. Again, be certain that the surround is not supporting the weight. Turn the leveling screws in until there is a slight gap beneath the surround panels.

Here are a few different ways to anchor the mounting frame.

On the sides of the frame, there are a few holes which can be used to attach metal straps. These straps can be anchored into the

fireplace using masonry anchors. You could also use any of the unused holes in the bottom of the frame to install anchors and lag bolts. Another option involves using kit #

1-00-774279. Here, you will mount plates to the frame. These plates have coupling nuts welded to them. The kit also includes two pieces

of 1/2" all thread, which threads into the coupling nuts. These can be used to tighten upward against the lintel until the unit is secure.

NOTE: When installed in a rear vent configuration, the maximum BTU may be reduced due to elevated ESP temperatures associated with the horizontal exhaust stream.

The flue collar on the rear of the mounting frame is designed to pivot. Loosen the four mounting bolts and adjust the angle of the collar as needed. Shown above is the vertical position and the horizontal position. Be sure the fiber gasket remains in place between the collar and the mounting frame, and secure the bolts. Secure the first section of venting to the collar with a minimum of two fasteners. Self- drilling screws will work well for this. Once the venting is secured and the seams are sealed, it is recommended that you wrap the vent pipe with a non-combustible insulation to prevent overheating of the motors and other appliance components. This is required (and supplied) when using the optional Zero Clearance Cabinet.
