Install the Firebox
NOTE: Dry fit the Starter Pipe and first vent pipe sections to the flue collar to align and drill pilot holes as necessary, while the firebox is on the shipping pallet. You will not be able to drill holes after the firebox is installed.
Also, you will find it easiest to connect the flexible or hard gas supply pipe to the burner control valve before installing the firebox into the shell.
1.Remove any cardboard packing material from the top of the firebox.
NOTE: The firebox is shipped with three bolts and spacers on the bottom to prevent the assembly on the bottom of the firebox from being damaged. The two front bolts should be removed after installation using a 7/16” wrench.
2.Lift the firebox assembly and slide it back into position in the shell. The base of the firebox should rest on the side support shelves as in Figure 16.
A pair of steel tabs will engage a mating rib on the top side of the outer edges of the firebox base as shown in Figure 16. Properly positioned, the firebox will be level and locked in place. If not, adjust the levelling screw in the foot of each leg as needed.
