WARNING: HANDLING SPACE CREATOR FIREPLACES

before installation. After removing the securing brackets, the appliance must be treated with care to maintain its leveled shape. Do
not shake, throw, stand, or put weight on it.
WARNING: LIP INSTALLATION IN H FIREPLACES
To ensure the glass is removable after installation, Magnetic Screw (Part #M03) under the fireplace lip must be secured tightly to the
firebox and screwed in as far as possible prior to installation of framing and finish material. If the magnet is not completely screwed
down into the firebox, the lip will sit ajar to the firebox, preventing glass removal.
