NOTE: You must use the framing and middle mounting
brackets that are supplied with the fireplace. The brackets
are shipped under the burner cover, inside the fireplace.
1. Locate the three steel middle mounting brackets under the
burner cover. See Figure 8.
3. The brackets have a perforation located on each end. Bend
them at the perforation. See Figure 9.
4. Secure the brackets to the fireplace top with four screws as
shown in Figure 10. The screws are located in the hardware
packet inside the envelope pack. There are holes located
in the top of the fireplace for each mounting bracket. The
hole closer to the edge of the fireplace is for mounting
noncombustible board around the opening. The other hole is
for mounting the non-combustible board to the fireplace face
(top, side and bottom). See Figures 10 to 14.

holes if mounting around fireplace window. Use the back set
of holes if mounting around the fireplace face (top, sides and
bottom). Note: The non-combustible board provided is 1/2"
thick.
NOTE: Additional screws made be used with the side framing
brackets to give additional support.
