-
Remove the Glass Door assembly and set aside.
-
Remove the Front Glass Retainer by simply lifting upward and set aside. See Figure 1.
-
Remove the Left and Right Side Liners. See Figure 2.
Remove (1) 5/16″ X 1/2″ Hex screw from each side panel located at the top rear corner of the side panel. Once the screw is removed, carefully grasp the top edge of the panel and work forward to release from the front retainer flange. Insulation is glued to the back of these liner panels and must not be removed.
-
Remove the Rear Liner Panel. See Figure 3. Remove (2)
5/16″ X 1 /2″ Hex screws at the top of the rear panel. To remove panel, pull the top forward slightly, then lift up to release the panel, and set aside.
-
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the Phillips Pan Head screws that secure the Burner Screen to the Burner, and set aside. DVLL36BP has (7) screws, and the DVLL48BP has (9) screws. See Figure 4.
-
To install the LK9 Light kit, first lay the Light kit assembly out on the floor or table end to end as shown by Figure 5. For installation in the DVLL36BP fireplace, the three light brackets will overlap to have an overall length of 30″ long when assembled. For installation in the DVLL48BP fireplace, the three light bracket ends overlap, and will have an overall length of 42″ long when assembled.
-
Install the Light bracket assembly with the Right Side bracket that includes the Green Ground wire first. Feed the ground wire and light wires with male terminal ends through the center/right burner support bracket and then through the right end burner bracket. See Figure 6.
-
Locate and remove the 5/16″ Hex Hd screw on the right side of the Firebox as shown in Figure 7, then re-install while securing the end of the Green Ground wire terminal. Remove the two pink protective terminal caps from the two tan light accessory wires located near the right side of the firebox (see inset) and discard, then connect these tan wires to the LK9 Light wire terminals. See Figure 7.
-
Continue installing the Center Light bracket through the center/right burner bracket until there is enough room to feed the Left Light Bracket through the center/left burner bracket. Shift the Left Light Bracket to the left so it rests in the left end burner bracket. See Figure 8.
-
Align the Center Light bracket onto the two center burner brackets, then place the Left and Right Light bracket ends on top of the Center Light bracket ends. There are 1/8″ X 1/8″ notches on the bottom edges of the Light brackets that will nest onto the burner brackets. When installing in the DVLL36BP fireplace, the Left and Right Light brackets will overlap the Center Light bracket approximately 6″. When installing in the DVLL48BP fireplace, the Left and Right Light brackets will overlap the Center Light bracket about 1″. Secure the Left and Right Light brackets to the Center Light bracket with (4) #8 X 1/4″ Screws as shown in Figure 9.
-
Once the three light brackets are screwed together, make sure the Light bracket assembly is seated down on the burner brackets, then arrange any extra wiring below the Light brackets.
A CAUTION
Make sure wiring is not pinched under the light brackets. -
Attach two End Deflectors ( one at each end of the Light bracket assembly) with (2) # 8 X 1/4″ Screws each. See Figure 10.
-
Attach the “V” shaped Deflectors to the Light bracket assembly. Two are required between the center burner brackets if installing in the DVLL36BP fireplace. Four “V” shaped Deflectors are to be installed when installing in the DVLL48BP fireplace. The Deflectors are placed between the light sockets and secured with (2) #8 X 1/4″ Screws each. See Figure 11 for DVLL36BP install, and Figure 12 for DVLL48BP install.
-
Install the (5) Halogen light bulbs into the Light bar sockets. When installing, take care not to touch the bulbs with your fingers directly, but use the protective plastic bulb packaging for protection from oils, etc. Take extra care when installing the bulbs. Do not force the bulbs into the sockets. See Figure 13.
-
After the Bulbs are installed, attach the Diffuser Screens to the Deflector brackets. Using (2) #8 X 1/4″ Screws, attach a Small Diffuser screen between the two center “V” brackets. Attach the small screen to the front holes in the “V” brackets as shown in Figure 14 so that the screen is over the center bulb. Check to make sure the screen is not resting on the bulb.
-
When installing in the DVLL36BP fireplace, add (1) Small Diffuser Screen and (1) Large Diffuser Screen over the two outer Bulbs as shown by Figure 15. Use ( 1) #8 X 1 /4″ Screw to secure each Diffuser screen. Check to make sure the screens are not resting on the bulbs.
-
When installing in the DVLL48BP fireplace, add (1) Small Diffuser Screen between the outer “V” brackets similar to as shown by Figure 14. Use (2) #8 X 1 /4″ Screws to secure each Small Diffuser screen. Check to make sure the screens are not resting on the bulbs.
