ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
12. You are now ready to install the fireplace on the
mounting plate. This will require a helper as the
fireplace is quite heavy. Lift the fireplace up and
guide the vent pipe into the vent pipe opening in
the mounting plate. The vent pipe must be at the
highest location possible in the vent pipe opening
(almost touching the inner vent pipe heat shield) to
allow the mounting tabs on the rear of the fireplace
to clear the top of the mounting brackets on the
mounting plate. Refer to the adjacent illustration.
13. While looking in from the sides, guide the upper
and lower mounting tabs on the back of the fire-
place into the corresponding brackets on the
mounting plate. When the tabs and brackets are
aligned, push the fireplace down and in to engage
the tabs in the brackets. Note: The weight of the
fireplace is carried only on the top brackets. The
bottom brackets function simply to keep the bot-
tom of the fireplace from moving. Refer to the
adjacent illustration.
14. If the fireplace is properly positioned on the brack-
ets the vent starter pipe and vent heat shields
should be concentric when viewed through the
vent pass-through in the wall. Go outside and look
in the hole to confirm this. If you are mounting
the fireplace on a 45° partition wall, look in the
pass-through using a mirror if needed. If the vent
starter pipe and vent pipe heat shields do not ap-
pear to be concentric, check to be sure that the
mounting tabs on the fireplace are all fully en-
gaged in the brackets on the mounting plate and
that the upper two tabs are sitting down on the up-
per brackets. If they are not, adjust the fireplace
until they are.
