10. If direct connect or positive connect kit is not used, follow instructions in mounting trim panels, steps 1-4c on page 10.
11. Mount top trim panel by drilling mounting holes in center of trim panel mounting brackets, with top end side of top panel
overlapping side panel.
12. Using insulation provided, peel and stick to back of panels overlapping fireplace dimensions by 1" on each side and top. (See Page 8,
Figure 6).
13. Next using high heat silicone or furnace cement run heavy bead of caulking around where panels meet stove. (See Figure 7).
14. Slide the unit back into fireplace. Check to be sure that trim panels (and brass) are properly positioned and lie flat against front of
fireplace. If panels are out of position, slide unit out and reset by loosening mounting screws and repositioning in the slot. Using the
bar, lift stove in front. Place insulation across front and the surface of hearth or bottom of fireplace, to make complete seal.
15. To check seal of panels, use candle flame and go around entire area sealed by silicone and insulation. If flame leans toward inside
of fireplace, add additional insulation. This ensures an airtight seal.
