Surround Panel Installation

All Surround Panel fasteners are already installed in the
appropriate locations. Simply remove and use them to
attach the panels together in the same locations.
A 10 mm wrench will be required.
RISER BAR: The 2" riser bar is used in conjunction with
the standard cast iron surround, and is only needed in
the event that the fireplace opening is between 27 1/2"
and 29 1/2" high. The riser bar can be used in any instal-
lation if desired. See fig. 37.

1. If the riser bar is to be used, the insert must be lifted 2"
off the floor of the fireplace to allow for the riser bar to
fill the space below the bottom grill assembly. See fig.
37. Install the leveling legs to achieve the appropriate
height.
NOTE: THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF THE CAST IRON
SURROUND AND RISER BAR MAY CAUSE THE UNIT TO
BECOME TOP-HEAVY. IN THAT CASE, INSTALL THE STABI-
LIZER BAR THAT IS SUPPLIED WITH THE FIREPLACE. THE
STABILIZER BAR ATTACHES TO THE TOP OF THE FIREBOX
AND WILL BRACE THE UNIT AGAINST THE FIREPLACE
LINTEL TO PREVENT THE UNIT FROM LEANING FOR-
WARD. See figs. 37 and 38.
