7. Next using high heat silicone or furnace cement, run heavy bead of caulking around where panels meet the
stove. (See Figure 4.)
8. Using the brass trim provided with kit, place side brass trim (with straight edge down) over each outer edge
of side trim panel. Next place top brass trim over top trim panel. All 45º corners should match. If not, trim
to fit with a metal cutting blade.
9. Slide the unit back into the fireplace. Check to be sure that the trim panels (and brass) are properly positioned
and lie flat against the front of the fireplace. If panels are out of position, slide the unit out and reset by
loosening the mounting screws and repositioning in the slot. With bar, lift stove in front. Place insulation
across front and the surface of hearth or bottom of fireplace to make complete seal.
10. To check seal of panels, use candle flame and go around the entire area sealed by silicone and insulation. If
flame leans toward inside of fireplace, add additional insulation. This ensures an airtight seal.
WHEN USING DIRECT OR POSITIVE CONNECT KIT FOLLOW STEPS 1-4c.
5. Place top panel back on reference mark. Take top trim panel mounting bracket supplied with unit and position
bracket so it overlaps rear lip of top trim panel. Drill mounting holes in top of stove using holes in bracket as
guide. Tighten down screws.
6. Now, follow the installation procedures in the listed direct connect or positive connect kit you are using and
install the heater and connect kit in the fireplace.
7. Using the brass trim provided with kit, place side brass trim (with straight edge down) over each outer edge
of side trim panel. Next place top brass trim over top trim panel. All 45º corners should match. If not, trim
to fit with a metal cutting blade.
8. Slide the unit back into the fireplace. Check to be sure that the trim panels are properly positioned and lie flat
against the front of the fireplace. If one or more of the panels is out of position, slide the unit out and reset by
loosening the mounting screws and repositioning in the slot.
NOTE: If side and top panels gap due to unevenness of fireplace (normally on rock faced fireplaces) you will
need to drill a 5/32" hole through both side and top panels near where the panels intersect and install a #10 self-
threading screw to eliminate the gap. Paint screws to match.
