Assembly

1. Position the top assembly (A) of mantel upside down

on a at, clean, non-abrasive surface.

2. Dowels and cam pins are shipped pre-inserted in the

end of the leg asembly (B). See Figure 2. Before

installing mantel leg, use a Phillips screwdriver to

ensure the cam pins are secured in the leg with the

cam fasteners positioned at 1/2 turn as shown in

Step 4, page 3.

3. Attach left leg assembly (B) to the top assembly (A)

by inserting dowel and cam pin into matching holes

on ends of the top assembly (A). Note: Make sure

that the arrow on the cam lock fasteners in the top

assembly point toward the edge of the board. Re-

view page 3 for cam fastener instructions.

Figure 2

4. Push down on the leg assembly (B) until dowels are

fully inserted into the top assembly and there is no

gap between leg and top assembly. Using a Phillips

screwdriver, turn the cam lock fasteners clockwise

up to 1/2 turn or until resistance is felt. Do not over-

tighten, as too much torque can break the cam lock

fastener.

5. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the right leg assembly (C).

2. Rotate the mantel into the upright position, (requires

two people): Rotate the mantel down onto its back

by holding onto BOTH mantel legs. Then, grasp the

top assembly and lift/rotate the mantel up until it is

standing upright on both mantel legs .

Figure 4

1. Locate studs in the wall behind the appliance. At-

tach ledger board to a minimum of two studs using

3" screws (O) at a height of 48-7/8" from the oor to

the top of the ledger board. See Figure 4.

Figure 5

3. Place mantel in front of appliance spaced approxi-

mately 6 in. from the wall. Insert top trim board (D)

into the slot located on the backside of the mantel

top assembly. See Figure 5. Insert side trim boards

(E) into the slot located on the back side of the man-

tel leg See Figure 6.

Note: If using a hearth that ts between the leg

opening, cut the trim boards to allow for hearth thick-

ness between legs.

1. Locate studs in the wall behind the appliance. At-

tach wall bracket to a minimum of two studs using 3"

screws (O) at a height of 33-3/4 in. from the oor to

the top of the wall bracket. See Figure 3.

SCREW INTO LEDGER BOARD

Figure 7

1. Move the mantel tightly against the wall while view-

ing it from all sides to make sure everything is tting

properly and that visible portions of the trim boards

are equal. The inner edge of the mantel trim boards

will overlap the outer edge of the appliance. Check

the outer edge of the mantel where it ts against the

wall to see that there is no excessively large gaps.

Small gaps will be lled later with caulk.

2. Secure mantel to ledger board using three 3" screws

(O) through the top edge of the mantel. Fill holes

with appropriate ll if desired. See Figure 7.

3. Attach the scribe (G,H), make sure its pushed back

against trim facing. Nail with nishing nails (P), top

assembly (G) rst. Be careful not to hit the trim as

you nail the scribe in place. Protect the trim with a

piece of corrugated cardboard held or taped be-

tween stone and hammer as you nail. Use a nail

set to set the nail head below surface of scribe, and

ll the resulting hole with an appropriate ller. See

Figure 8.

Steps 3 & 4 Optional (suggested when using other

trim facing less than 3/4” thickness in place of

supplied trim boards)

Figure 8

4. If using a hearth that ts between the leg opening,

cut the scribe to allow for stone height between the

legs. Place the scribe molding as shown, positioning

it so that it just contacts the noncombustible sur-

round. Be careful not to hit the facing material when

nailing the scribe in place. No cutting is needed if

hearth exceeds mantel legs.

Connecting to Power

Make sure the appliance is installed acoording to local

codes.

Option 1: Using an outlet located within designated cut

out in replace cavity.

• See Electrical Outlet locations on page 4.

• Refer to appliance manual for wiring instructions.

Option 2: Using an outlet located outside of mantel:

• Pass stripped end of cord through drilled hole in

mantel and pass end of cord through hole inside of

appliance cavity.

• Secure cord with strain relief (S).
