ASSEMBLY
Installing the Fireplace Surround
The decorative surround for the fireplace is held in place by four brack-
ets. Two are located on the top of the fireplace and two on the bottom.
There are mating brackets and catch plates on the surround itself. Refer
to the adjacent illustrations when installing the surround.
1. Unpack the surround from shipping box.
2. With a helper, lift the surround up and identify the top by looking
for the vertical brackets that are visible from the rear of the sur-
round.
3. Move the surround into place, generally centering the surround
opening over the glass panel. Keep the bottom of the surround
tipped slightly away from the fireplace.
4. While looking behind the surround, guide the two surround brackets
onto the mating brackets on the fireplace top. You might find it eas-
ier to engage one bracket and then the other. Lower the surround
until both bracket sets are fully mated.
5. Carefully swing the bottom of the surround toward the base of the
fireplace until the catch plates on the bottom flange of the surround
are aligned with the adjustable locating screws on the bottom
flanges of the lower surround mounting brackets.
NOTE: Adjustment of the locating screws may be required to pro-
vide a snug fit. Use a philips screwdriver to shorten or lengthen the
locating screws as necessary.
6. To remove the surround, pull the bottom edge of the surround out-
ward to disengage the bullet catches and then lift the top up and off
the upper brackets.
7. To prevent damage to the surround, always set the surround in a
safe place while it is removed from the fireplace.
