Surround Panels Installation
The Medina insert surround panels are made of heavy gage
steel for durability and, if desired, for the ease of making an
inside fit in the fireplace.
1. Remove the speed nuts (A in Figure 12) from the parts
bag and install (with the flat surface forward) on the
six holes in the surround brackets - three on each side
of the insert (B in Figure 12). A flat bladed screwdriver
may help in installing the nuts.
2. Install all surround panels and trim with the insert po-
sitioned in the fireplace but a few inches in front of its
final location.
3. Install the side surround panels by lining up the holes
in the tabs on the side surround panels in front of the
holes on the surround brackets. Next insert two slot-
ted 1/4" truss screws for each side surround panel and
secure loosely.
Face Installation
The faces come with hooked brackets. To install the face,
hang the hooked brackets on the surround brackets per
instructions provided in decorative face kit (C in Figure
12).

4. Fasten top surround panel with the remaining two truss
screws. Tighten all six truss screws after adjusting the
surround panels to eliminate space between side and
top surround panels.
5. Assemble the surround trim by inserting the elbowed
retainer in the rectangular slot in the ends of the longest
piece of trim and secure by tightening the screw in the
retainer. Slide the mitred ends of the two side trim pieces
onto the elbowed retainer and secure by tightening the
retainer screw.
6. The fastened trim pieces should now be horseshoe
shaped. Slide the trim down over the surround panels
so the edge of the surround panel fits just behind the
rounded edge of the trim.
7. Install three spring clips (found in parts bag in firebox)
in each piece of trim by inserting them between the
rear of the surround panel and the channel of the trim.
The spring clips will push the trim tight to the surround
panel.
