WinterWarm Fireplace Insert or System

Prepare and Install the WinterWarm Front

Do not remove the WinterWarm Front from its ship- ping container until the directions indicate to do so. The installation of the front is much easier if you partially assemble some of the components before removing it from the container.

Refer to the Figure 52 for the location in the shipping container of the various parts. Also clear a “grab-space” nearby where you can keep handy the tools you’ll be using (Phillips-head screwdriver, 11/32” (9mm) wrench, 7/16” (11mm) wrench, 9/16” (14mm) wrench and utility knife) as well as the various parts you’ll be removing.

Fig. 52 The WinterWarm front and its related parts are shown here after three separate boxes containing the mantel and latticework panels have been removed. For easiest assembly and installation, follow the sequence of the directions exactly.

1.Open the Shipping Container. Remove the straps securing the shipping container and then remove

its top. Among the parts you’ll see in the box is the WinterWarm front (lying face down) a bubble-pack of parts, and boxes containing the mantel and latticework panels. To orient yourself for the following directions, stand so that the bubble pack is nearest your feet and the solid top cross-piece of the front (the “spandrel”) is farthest away.

2.Unpack the Mantel, Latticework Panels, and Air Dividers. Remove the large box on top containing the mantel, and the two boxes beneath it containing the latticework panels, and set them aside. Also remove the two air dividers that are packed in the edge of the carton next to the top of the front.

3.Loosen the Bolts in the Spandrel and the Top Grille. The solid top cross-piece of the front (the “span- drel”) is attached to the column sides with four bolts, two per side. Also, the top grille of the front is secured to the spandrel with two bolts. These fasteners should be loosened (not removed) while installing the front so that it will be easier to align the sides. These bolts must be re-tightened once the sides are in their permanent position.

4.Remove the Packing Straps and Discard Them. These flat steel bars are secured by one bolt on each side to the base of the column. Once you have re- moved the bolts, lift the top of the WinterWarm front and drag it slightly forward until it rests on the edge of the shipping carton. This will create enough room in the carton to slide the packing straps off the bottom of the front column. The packing straps will not be used again and may be discarded.

5.Unpack the Remaining Parts.

Slice open the bubble pack with your utility knife and remove the electric cord, the hardware package, and the two mantel end caps.

Open the boxes containing the mantel and latticework panels and remove the contents. Set all of these items aside.

6.Empty the Contents of the Hardware Package onto your Grab Space.

7.Attach the Front to the Fire Chamber.

With assistance, lift the front into position against the Fire Chamber, starting with the left side. Move it behind the protruding load door hinge halves. Swing the right side into position.

It may be necessary to adjust one of the levelling screws to align the clevis of the front to the fire cham- ber.
