MOSAIC MASONRY BRICK INSTALLATION

NOTE: A Mosaic Masonry panel kit is required for use with your
VRT6036, VRT6042, or VRT6050 Firebox. (Not supplied, see page
18 for models available).
IMPORTANT: Installation of brick panels should be
done after the fireplace is placed in a permanent
location.
Note: Remove grate, screen assemblies and all hardware components
out of the box prior to installation.
INSTALLATION
1. Install bottom brick panel. Using at least two people, hold bot-
tom brick panel by its side edges. Place the back edge of bottom
panel into the firebox first and carefully lower the front edge of
panel. Make sure bottom panel is centered in the firebox and
flush with the front of the fireplace. Be careful not to pinch your
fingers between the panel and firebox (Figure 13).
2. Install the left and right side leading bricks (Figure 13).
