Insulation Installation

(required only for face seal installations)

1.With the insert drawn 6" from the fireplace, glue the insulation strip included with the insert to the back of the panels using RTV silicon or stove gasket cement. The insulation should be installed so it overlaps the fireplace opening to form a seal between the panels and the fireplace face. Let the silicon or cement dry.

Optional Trim Installation: Insert one leg of each "L" bracket into the top and side trim piece. Align the trim to form a precise corner, then tighten the two set screws with a small standard screwdriver. Slide the trim over the panels. Place the spring clips behind the panels at the locations shown. This keeps the trim tight against the panel. Optional Knock-Out An optional knock-out is provided on both sides if the power cord is routed behind the surround panel.

2.Push the insert into the fireplace, allowing the insulation to form a seal between the panels and the fireplace. Use a screwdriver to tuck any exposed insulation behind the panels.
