DETAILING THE FIREPLACE (Continued)
Faceplate and Door Installation
After the finished facing has been installed to the proper clearances, it is time to assemble the
decorative face plate and doors to the fireplace. If the decorative face is gold plated, be sure
that any brick or face material is acid free. Muriatic acid is commonly used to clean mortar
from the surface of brick or stone. This will cause a cloudy film on the gold plated surfaces.
The acid must be neutralized (see the section "Acid Wash And The Fireplace Xtrordinair").
1. Open the box containing the faceplate and carefully remove its contents. The box will
contain the faceplate, a #3 square driver and a bag containing the screws, switch
assembly and knobs.

2. Take the #3 square driver and remove the set-up face plate.
3. Put the decorative face plate in place and pull the switch wires through the switch hole in
the lower right corner to keep them from being pinched when the face plate is tightened
up.
4. Put all the screws in a few turns before tightening them up. If a screw starts hard, back it
out until a click can be heard, then start it in again. Tighten all the screws.
5. The next step is to attach the switch plate and rheostat. Connect the two quick-connects
coming from the rheostat to the quick-connects coming from the fireplace (see the
illustration on the following page). The orientation of these two wires does not matter.
Push all of the excess wire into the space next to the door switch. Attach the switch plate
to the faceplate with the two screws included with the switch plate. When tightening the
screws, be careful not to pinch the wires.
NOTE:
If you wish to test the fan prior to actually starting the stove, the two wires
leading to the thermodisk will need to be jumped together. Once those two
wires are connected and the door is closed, the fan will come on.
