Appliance Setup

A. Remove the Shipping Materials
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Close the ball valve before in-
stalling the splatter guard to prevent accidental lighting.
Remove the splatter guard before lighting the appliance.
Remove shipping materials from inside or underneath the
firebox.
• Finishing strips are also shipped with this appliance.
Remove from shipping location. Do not discard. De-
pending on the decorative barrier front and finishing
method chosen, finishing strips may be required. See
Section 10.E.
• The splatter guard is a piece of corrugated material
used to protect the appliance during the installation
process before finishing work on the whole hearth is
complete. Splatter guards may be factory installed
or accompany the decorative barrier front of the ap-
pliance, depending on the fireplace model. Splatter
guards must be removed before appliance is fired.
B. Clean the Appliance
Clean/vacuum any sawdust that may have accumu-
lated inside the firebox or underneath in the control
cavity.

Glass Liner
Note: Black Glass Liner instructions follow Brick Refrac-
tory instructions.
