FIREBOX INSTALLATION INSTRUcTIONS

Locating Firebox
Place firebox in framing opening. Use the tabs on the side of the
firebox to attach firebox to framing. Different tab locations can be
used for finishing materials with thicknesses of 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch.
See Figure 8.
Framing tabs should fit directly against framing material. Use at
least one nail per bracket to secure in place.
Check squareness of the firebox prior to securing to framed opening.
See Figure 9.
A black hood that is furnished with each firebox (or optional hood)
MUST be installed before the firebox is used. Failure to do so
may create a possible fire hazard. The hood is located behind
upper louver, or inside the firebox on flush face units. If brass,
stainless steel, or hammered pewter hoods are desired, they can
be purchased as an option. Attachment is the same as the standard
black hood.
Flush Face Models
1. On flush face models, loosely attach two screws (A) to hold the
firebox top to face panel, then slide the hood flange between the
firebox top and face panel and re-tighten the screws.
2. Install one screw at each end of the hood as shown (C).
Louvered Models
1. If you have a louvered model, remove upper louver.
2. Place the top hood flange on top of the firebox, then install three
screws through the firebox top from below and screw into the
pilot holes in the hood flange (B).
3. Install one screw at each end of the hood as shown (C).
4. Re-install louver.
caution: The hood must be installed prior to operation of appliance.
