TIPS FOR THE ASSEMBLY OF
YOUR NEW MANTEL
• Before you begin assembly, locate the instructions and hardware. Take out all the parts and
compare them to the diagrams below. Be sure you have all the parts and can identify them.
• A helping hand is always good. Assemble your mantel with an adult assistant if possible. Some
pieces are heavy and will need to be held by a helper. Assembly time will take approximately
30-60 minutes.

GET READY TO START
Before assembly, use scissors to unwrap the parts from the packaging. DO NOT use a box cutter or
exacto-knife as you may cut into the mantel pieces inside the box and damage the finish. Check for the
hardware bag which is RED and located inside the packaging, taped to the top box. Be sure you DO
NOT discard any pieces. Use an appropriate screwdriver to insert and tighten all screws.
Step 1
Locate the base and place it on the floor. DO NOT put it up against
the wall at this point in the assembly, as you need to get in behind
the mantel to insert several screws.
Step 2
Locate the left side panel and the left front panel. Facing the front of the base,
take the left side panel, positioning it so the holes in the blocks on the bottom line
up with the holes on the base. Position the left front panel next to the left side
panel, lining up the holes in the blocks with the holes on the base. Attach the left
front and side panel to the base by inserting and tightening 1 screw to each piece.
Attach the left side and left front panels together by inserting and tightening
3 screws.
Step 3
Repeat Step 2, but with the right side panel and the right front panel.

Step 4
Locate the upper facing panel that will be attached to the left
and right legs and will sit above the firebox. Position this panel with
the finished cherry side facing the front of the mantel. Line up the
holes on each side, insert and tighten 2 screws on each side.
Step 5
Get your assistant and locate the top of your mantel. This top is
very heavy. It will take 2 people to lift and position it in place.
Ensure the top goes over the positioning guide located on the
header. The top must go over this guide to be positioned correctly.
Once the top is positioned correctly, insert and tighten 6 screws.
Step 6
If you are using this mantel in a corner application, locate the
triangular piece of wood which attaches to the mantel to create
the corner unit. You must attach this piece for all corner
applications. Simply take the triangle and slide the brackets with
the holes onto the pins which are already attached to the mantel.
Once the triangle is attached, push it up so it is level with the
mantel and lock it into place. To lock it into place simply turn the
horizontal wooden blocks attached to the underside of the mantel
into a vertical position to support the weight of the corner triangle.

Step 7
Take your electric firebox out of its packaging and position it
between the 2 legs of the mantel. Once you are close to the wall,
plug the firebox into the nearest outlet.
The firebox comes with 3 metal brackets and 20 black screws. These
metal brackets must be attached to both the sides of the firebox and
the mantel to ensure that your firebox does not move around as you
use it. 2 of the brackets have 2 large holes on one side. These large
holes line up with the 2 screws on the side of the firebox. The other
screws provided must be inserted into the holes at the other end of the
bracket and into the firebox. The other side of each bracket attaches
to the mantel.
The 3rd bracket has no holes on 1 side. That side should go up against
the firebox top but should not be attached as the heater sits right
underneath the bracket. Only the mantel side should be attached.
If you have any questions about the firebox please reference the
installation instructions that come with the firebox. Please reference
the Quick Tips section of that instruction manual.
Step 8
You are now ready to position your mantel against the wall.
This step requires 2 people to move the unit.
Anti-tipping device
At this point you must attach the anti-tipping device to your mantel
and your wall. This device is a safety feature that will prevent your
mantel from tipping over if a weight is applied which can unbalance
the unit.
