Fig. 4 & 5
CAUTION: Two people will be required for various steps
of this procedure.
WARNING: Ensure that the circuit on which the fireplace
is to be installed has the power cut off at the service panel
until installation is complete.
1. Determine the mounting location of the unit so that
the wall-mounting bracket can be installed into a
minimum of 2 wall studs for the 34" Models and 4 wall
studs for the 74" Models
!
NOTE: It is recommended that the mounting bracket
be installed 56 in. (142 cm) off of the ground to maintain an
optimized viewing angle of the flame.
2. Hold the wall mounting bracket, with the bubble level
on the top, on the wall so that the bubble on the level
is centered between the two black lines.
3. Mark the 4 mounting screw locations, on the wall,
ensuring that the wall bracket stays level (Fig. 4)
marked (A).
4. In locations where the screws are being installed only
into drywall, install the supplied wall anchors before
installing the screw (predrill if required).
5. Secure the wall bracket to the wall using the supplied
1 ½ in. (3.8 cm) mounting screws and washers into the
wall and/or wall anchors.
6. Install the bottom support bracket to the wall centered
with the wall mounting bracket, using the appropriate
mounting hardware, 13 ¾" (350 mm) below the wall
mounting bracket (Fig. 4) marked (B).
7. Remove the center screw from the bottom of the
fireplace. (Fig. 5)
8. Hang the fireplace from the bracket.
9. Install the previously removed screw through the
bottom support bracket into the fireplace.
10. Refer to Front Glass Installation section for final
installation procedures.
Surface Mounting (50" Models)
CAUTION: Two people may be required for various
steps of this procedure.
1. Choose a location which has a minimum of two wall
studs available for mounting.
2. Choose your method of supplying power to the unit:
• Plug in to an existing outlet or install an outlet nearby.
• Hard wire the fireplace.
WARNING: Do not attempt to wire your own new outlets
or circuits. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury
to persons, always use a licensed electrician.
WARNING: Ensure that the circuit on which the fireplace
is to be installed has the power cut off at the service panel
until installation is complete.
3. Remove the partially reflective glass from the fireplace:
• Lay fireplace on its back.
Models)- see
- see Fig. 6 & 7
• Remove two Phillips screws from each of the two glass
brackets (Fig. 6) marked (A).
• Remove glass brackets (Fig. 6) marked (B).
• With one hand keeping pressure on the partially
reflective glass, tilt the fireplace upright and slightly
forward to allow the partially reflective glass to fall out
of the inside framing.
CAUTION: Partially reflective glass is not tempered. Do
not bump or drop the partially reflective glass to avoid
breakage and personal injury.
• Remove partially reflective glass from fireplace.
4. Position the fireplace on a wall in the position where
it will be mounted (Fig. 7). Use a bubble level (one is
supplied) to ensure that fireplace is level on the wall.
5. Ensuring that at least two key-holes line up with a wall
stud (key-holes are spaced at 4 in. (10.2 cm) centers)
(Fig. 7) marked (A), mark the location of four screw
locations on the wall (through key-holes).
6. Remove fireplace from wall and store in a safe place
away from traffic.
7. Where marked screw locations do not line up with a
wall stud, insert (screw in) one of the two supplied wall
anchors (predrill if required). Repeat if only two screws
line up with a wall stud.
8. Screw all four supplied #8, 1 ½ in. (3.8 cm) square head
mounting screws and washers into the wall and/or wall
anchors leaving ¼ in. (6.5 mm) of thread.
9. Align chosen key-holes with screws and hang fireplace
on the wall. Screw heads and washers will fit through
key-holes and fireplace will slide down into place
(screws will slide into narrow part of key-holes).
10. Tighten all four mounting screws down on fireplace
chassis.
11. Screw the two supplied #8 square head screws through
two of the permanent mounting holes (Fig. 7) marked
(C) which align with a wall stud.
12. Carefully replace and install partially reflective glass
and glass brackets using screws from step 1.
13. Refer to Front Glass Installation section for final
installation procedures.
Partial Recessed (Not possible on 74"
see Fig. 8 & 9
CAUTION: Two people may be required for various
steps of this procedure.
1. Prepare a wall with a framed opening for the correct
model (Fig. 8)
• 34" Models: 30 ½ in. (77.5 cm) wide x 16 ½ in. (42 cm)
high
• 50" Models: 46 ½ in. (118.1 cm) wide x 16 ½ in.
(42 cm) high
!
NOTE: The sizing has allowed for ¼ in. (6.4 mm) around
the fireplace insert for ease of installation. This fireplace
does not require any additional venting.
2. Choose your method of supplying power to the unit:
• Plug in (you may run the power cord out of the framed
wall opening to an existing outlet or install an outlet on
a nearby wall stud within the wall).
• Hard wire the fireplace.
WARNING: Do not attempt to wire your own new outlets
or circuits. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury
to persons, always use a licensed electrician.
WARNING: Ensure that the circuit on which the fireplace
is to be installed has the power cut off at the service panel
until installation is complete.
