• Cabinet Installations
Cabinets are available from your dealer which allow for fast, convenient installation
of your fireplace against existing walls.
For instructions on handling and assembly of your cabinet, refer to separate installa-
tion instructions that come with the cabinet.
If it is necessary to secure your fireplace into a cabinet or wall opening, the following
instructions apply (hardware not supplied).
Remove the glass door from the unit and set aside. 3/16” (5 mm) clearance holes,
two (2) per side must be drilled through the fireplace sides for #8 x 3/4” long black
oxide wood screws or similar. The mounting holes can be located on left and right
sides approximately 2” (51 mm) from the top and 5” (127 mm) from the bottom of
the glass door area. The mounting hole location distance from the front of the unit
must not interfere with the glass door and the refractory (brick pattern) when rein-
stalled. If necessary, modify the cabinet or wall opening for the mounting screws to
attach. Double check the mounting hole’s locations on the fireplace before drilling. A
small 1/16” (2 mm) pilot hole or center punch before drilling is recommended. Mark
and drill from the outside to avoid marking or damaging the interior of the fireplace.
Tighten the screws evenly so the unit remains centered in the opening and without
distorting the sides of the fireplace unit. It is advisable to place wood shims or simi-
lar between the fireplace sides and the cabinet to prevent distortion when tightening
the screws. 1/2” (13 mm) Velcro strips for securing the log to the grate tines and
away from the screen are recommended.
