Install the Firebox
NOTE: Dry fit the Starter Pipe and first vent pipe
sections to the flue collar to align and drill pilot
holes as necessary, while the firebox is on the
shipping pallet. You will not be able to drill holes
after the firebox is installed.
Also, you will find it easiest to connect the
flexible or hard gas supply pipe to the burner
control valve before installing the firebox into the
shell.
1. Remove any cardboard packing material from the
top of the firebox. Double-check to be sure the sides
align at 90
°
to the rear shroud.
NOTE: The firebox is shipped with three bolts and
spacers on the bottom to prevent the assembly on
the bottom of the firebox from being damaged. The
two front bolts should be removed after installation
using a 7/16” wrench.
2. Lift the firebox assembly and slide it back into
position in the shell. The base of the firebox should
rest on the side support shelves as in Figure 16.
A pair of steel tabs will engage a mating rib on the
top side of the outer edges of the firebox base as
shown in Figure 16. Properly positioned, the firebox
will be level and locked in place. If not, adjust the
levelling screw in the foot of each leg as needed.
