Four nailing flanges are provided to secure
the fireplace to the floor (see figure below).
Bend the nailing flanges down so that each
flange is flush with the floor, then using nails
or screws, secure the fireplace to the floor (2
places each side). The heads of the screws
or nails must be large enough to completely
cover the holes in the nailing flanges.
