DETAILING THE FIREPLACE (Continued)
Installing the Faceplate and Doors
After the finished facing has been installed to the proper clearances, it is time to assemble the
decorative faceplate and doors to the fireplace. If the decorative face is gold plated, be sure
that any brick or face material is acid free. Muriatic acid is commonly used to clean mortar
from the surface of brick or stone. This will cause a cloudy film on the gold plated surfaces.
The acid must be neutralized (see the section "Acid Wash And The Fireplace Xtrordinair").
1. Open the box containing the faceplate and carefully remove its contents. The box will
contain the faceplate, a #3 square driver and a bag containing the screws, switch
assembly and knobs.

2. Take the #3 square driver
and remove the set-up
faceplate.
3. Check to make sure the
insulation is still in place
along the face of the
fireplace. The insulation
should pinch between the
faceplate and the face of the
Z.C. unit. Make any
adjustments necessary to
insure an air seal between
the faceplate and the Z.C.
can.
4. Put the decorative faceplate
in place and pull the switch
wires through the switch
hole in the lower right
corner to keep them from
being pinched when the
faceplate is tightened up.
