- Prior to the installation of the faceplate backing plate, measure the projection of the cast iron
faceplate to the front of the fireplace opening. This will determine its location on the convection
air jacket of the insert.
- If the projection is greater than 0”, a projection kit AC01323 will need to be used before the
installation of the cast iron faceplate. See step 3.
*Note that in order to install the optional projection kit AC01323, one of the optional faceplate
backing plate kit AC01322 or AC01332 must be purchased separately to secure the projection kit to
it.

Step 1: Support brackets installation
1.1. Position the insert in its final location in order to
measure the projection of the cast iron faceplate
from the front of the fireplace finish.
1.2. Secure the mounting brackets (C) (see DETAIL 1)
on each side and (A) (see DETAIL 2) on the top of
the convection air jacket (D) with screws (B).
The location of the predrilled holes in the
convection air jacket are to identify the following
projections:
1- The cast iron faceplate has no projection (0”)
from the front of the fireplace finish.
2- The cast iron faceplate has a 2” projection
from the front of the fireplace finish.
3- The cast iron faceplate has a 4” projection
from the front of the fireplace finish.
To avoid overheating, it is not allowed to
add or change the location of the existing
holes.
