Installation Instructions
A) Make sure the shelf height required by the fireplace manufacturer is
respected.
B) Measure the shelf to determine
the length and width needed of the heat shield.
C) Make a back-andforth motion to break the heat shield at the desired
location to obtain the necessary width. Available widths are 6″, 8″, 10″ and
12″. The heat shield must cover the entire shelf. Break also the support to
the right width.
D) The heat shield must cover the
entire shelf.
Note : Assuming that the shelf is centered with the fireplace, there
should be no support 8″ on each side from the center of the shelf (hatched
area).
E) Position a support on each side of the hatched area. Then position a
bracket at each end of the shield, centered on the width and 1″ from the end.
The maximum distance between each support should be 16″. If the distance is
greater, add a support at an equal distance between the two. Mark the location
of the holes using the notches in the support. Using a drill, pre-drill the
holes in the screen.
F) Paint the necessary quantity of
supports and the heat shield with high temperature paint.
G) Position the brackets on the shelf. Do not use holes
drilled in the heat shield as a model. The holes are not located at the same
place! Position a support on each side of the hatched area. Then position a
support at each end of the screen 1″ from the end and 1
½” from the edge. Use the same number of supports as for step D). For a 6″
shelf use two screws, for a shelf of more than 6″, use 3 screws.
H) Install the heat shield on the brackets with the screws
included in the kit. For a 6″ shelf use two screws. For a shelf of more than
6″, use 3 screws.
