D. Securing the Mounting Frame
The mounting frame is the anchor for the appli-
ance. If the frame is not secured properly, shifting
will occur when sliding the insert in or out.
There are four (4) holes located as shown, that are
threaded for 5/16 - 18 bolts. Thread the bolts down
through the holes to raise the frame corners as
needed, to level.
The mounting frame is the anchor for the appli-
ance. If the frame is not secured properly, shifting
will occur when sliding the insert in or out.
Most importantly, the frame must be level. Again, be
certain that the surround is not supporting the weight.
Turn the leveling screws in until there is a slight gap
beneath the surround panels.
Here are a few different ways to anchor the mounting
frame.
On the sides of the frame, there are a few holes which
can be used to attach metal straps. These straps
can be anchored into the
fireplace using masonry
anchors. You could also
use any of the unused
holes in the bottom of the
frame to install anchors
and lag bolts. Another
option involves using kit #
1-00-774279. Here, you will
mount plates to the frame.
These plates have coupling
nuts welded to them. The
kit also includes two pieces
of 1/2" all thread, which threads into the coupling nuts.
These can be used to tighten upward against the lintel
until the unit is secure.

E. Attaching the Venting
NOTE: When installed in a rear vent configuration, the maximum BTU
may be reduced due to elevated ESP temperatures associated with the
horizontal exhaust stream.
The flue collar on the rear of the mounting frame is
designed to pivot. Loosen the four mounting bolts
and adjust the angle of the collar as needed. Shown
above is the vertical position and the horizontal
position. Be sure the fiber gasket remains in place
between the collar and the mounting frame, and
secure the bolts. Secure the first section of venting
to the collar with a minimum of two fasteners. Self-
drilling screws will work well for this. Once the
venting is secured and the seams are sealed, it is
recommended that you wrap the vent pipe with a
non-combustible insulation to prevent overheating of
the motors and other appliance components. This is
required (and supplied) when using the optional Zero
Clearance Cabinet.
