ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Installing the Outer Panels
1. The four outer decorative panels are secured to the fire-
place with philips head screws. The top and bottom pan-
els are secured to the fireplace mounting plate with sheet
metal screws. All other screws are philips head machine
screws.
2. Install the top panel first. Align the three holes along the
rear edge of the panel with pilot holes along the top edge
of the fireplace mounting plate.
3. Insert and tighten the three sheet metal screws. A mag-
netic nut driver is helpful.
4. Install the left side panel next. Align the three holes
along the rear edge of the panel with the PEM nuts along
the edge of the fireplace mounting plate. Insert the three
philips head screws but do not fully tighten.
5. Locate the fastener hole at the top front edge of the left
side panel and align with the PEM nut in the front of the
top panel. Insert the philips head screw.
6. Make sure the edges of the panel are aligned with the
edges of the top panel and mounting plate and tighten all
four philips head screws.
7. The right side panel has the manual control touch pad
mounted along the rear edge. Before the panel can be
installed, the touch pad must be connected to the touch
pad cable (5 Pin connector). You will find this next to
the electronic control module. Hold the side panel up
near the fireplace and connect the cable end to the touch
pad connector. Note that arrow on the on the cable end
connector must align with the #5 on the touch pad con-
nector in order to function correctly.
8. Route the cable through the cutout in the fireplace mounting plate flange and position the right side panel
so it aligns with the three PEM nuts on the mounting plate and the front PEM nut on the top panel. Align
the rear and top panel edges with the adjoining parts and insert and tighten the four philips head screws.
9. Install the bottom panel next. Guide the rear flange on the panel upward until the mounting holes in the
flange line up with the pilot holes in the mounting plate.
11. Attach the panel to the mounting plate using sheet metal screws along the back edge of the panel. Note: It
may make installation of the sheet metal screws easier if you remove the two lower surround mounting
brackets from the front of the fireplace. A magnetic nut-driver will also be helpful.
12. Attach the bottom panel to the side panels by aligning the fastener holes in the bottom panel with the PEM
nuts in the front corners of the bottom flanges on the side panels. Insert and tighten the two philips head
screws.
13. Reinstall the lower surround brackets if you removed them by inserting and tightening the two sheet metal
screws in each bracket.
