3. Slide the unit out of the fireplace far enough to
work behind the trim panel reference lines.
4. Mount the side trim panels. (See Figure 3)
a. Position the trim panel on the reference line.
b. Drill mounting holes in center of trim panels
mounting brackets to allow for adjustment
in and out if necessary.
c. Mount the trim panel using the self-tapping
screws provided.
5. Place top panel back on reference mark. Take
top trim panel mounting bracket supplied with
unit. Position bracket so it overlaps rear lip of
top trim panel. Drill mounting holes in top of
stove using holes in bracket as guide. Tighten
down screws. NOTE: The mounting Bracket is
only necessary with direct connect installation.
6. Now, follow the installation procedures in the
listed direct connect or positive connect kit you
are using and install the heater and connect kit in
the fireplace.
7. Slide the unit back into the fireplace. Check to be
sure that the trim panels are properly positioned
and lie flat against the front of the fireplace. If
one or more of the panels is out of position, slide
the unit out and reset by loosening the mounting
screws and repositioning in the slot.

8. Reinstall the top trim panel by sliding the rear lip of the top trim panel underneath the front lip of the mounting
bracket already secured to top of unit.
NOTE: Mount the top trim panel so that it sits in front of the top of the side trim panels.
9. Obtain the brass trim kit provided with unit and slip over the top and sides of trim panels. (Top ends of brass
may need to be trimmed to fit.)
10. If direct connect or positive connect kit is not used, follow instructions in steps 1-4c on previous page.
11. Mount top trim panel by drilling mounting holes in center of trim panel mounting brackets, with top end side
of top panel overlapping side panel.
12. Using insulation provided, peel and stick to back of panels overlapping fireplace dimensions by 1” on each
side and top. (See Figure 3.)
13. Next using high heat silicone or furnace cement run heavy bead of caulking around where panels meet the
stove. (See Figure 3.)
14. Slide the unit back into the fireplace. Check to be sure that the trim panels (and brass) are properly positioned
and lie flat against the front of the fireplace. If panels are out of position, slide the unit out and reset by
loosening the mounting screws and repositioning in the slot. With bar, lift stove in front. Place insulation
across front and the surface of hearth or bottom of fireplace, to make complete seal.
15. To check seal of panels, use candle flame and go around the entire area sealed by silicone and insulation. If
flame leans toward inside of fireplace, add additional insulation. This ensures an airtight seal.
