Use and Care Guide

2. RISER BAR INSTALLATION:
NOTE: The actual frame height (shown on Page 2)
includes a 2” riser bar. If your fireplace opening
height matches the dimensions noted below,
DO NOT ATTACH THE RISER BAR:
SIZE OPENING HEIGHT
Small 27 3/4” or less
Medium 30 3/4” or less
Large 30 3/4” or less
When the riser bar is required, lay the firescreen face
down on a flat, padded surface. Attach the riser bar
with two (2) 8-32 x 5/8” Machine Screws (#6) and two
(2) Hex Nuts (#7) as shown in Figure 1. Use caution
to protect your hands from possible sharp metal
edges. NOTE: The back edges of the riser bar and
the back edges of the bottom frame should be flush.
In some cases, the riser bar will extend in front of the
assembly frame which is correct.
NOTE: If your frame does not require a riser bar, the
screws (#6) and nuts (#7) may be discarded.
3. FIBERGLASS INSULATION:
NOTE: Fiberglass insulation may irritate your
skin. Always wear gloves when handling.
The fiberglass insulation provided is heat resistant.
Your particular model may leave some of the
i n s u l a t i o n exposed to the inside of the fireplace.
This is normal and should not be of concern. This
fiberglass is designed to protect the metal finish of
your frame. Both the 3” and 2” Fiberglass Pieces
(#10 & #11) will separate into three strips each by
peeling them from one end as shown in Figure 2.
Measure all dimensions of your firescreen. Cut
insulation to length with scissors and place in back
top and back side channels - Figure 3. Use caution
to protect your hands from possible sharp metal
edges.
N O T E : The insulation does not need to fill the
channels to their full depth. Should you prefe r
additional insulation, you may purchase Owe n s -
C o r ning UL Listed RA-28 Fiberglass Insulation
from your local home improvement center.
