2FIREBOX INSTALLATION
2.1 Considerations:
•Accessibility to electricity and 1/4’’ water line, like ice maker in fridge.
•Recessed into wall, sitting proud of a wall or completely free-standing?
•If light cast upwards to ceiling is undesirable, consider recessing into the wall for a traditional hearth
appearance.
•Determine decorative materials and finishes you expect to use. Since there is no heat, there are virtually no
limitations.
•Plan to make it easy to remove fireplace insert should maintenance or repairs become necessary.
•Avoid or prevent air currents from doors, windows, and existing HVAC system which affect flame quality.
2.2 Preparing for Installation
- Prepare equipment: Power drill, screws, screwdriver, and level
- Carefully remove the firebox and components from the packaging
- Inspect and report any parts damaged in shipment
- Read all instructions before starting the installation. Follow these instructions carefully during the installation to
ensure maximum safety and benefit.

through firebox.
The single-sided firebox can be configured into a left-corner, right-corner, or three-sided firebox by removing one or
both sides.
The see-through firebox can be configured into a peninsula firebox by removing one of the sides.
2.4.1 Removing a Side from The Firebox
To remove one or both sides from the firebox remove the (16) screws circled in white below from each side.
Note: If a side is removed, a side flange extension must be added to that side after the firebox is installed into the
framing.
