Step One
Installing the Mounting Bracket (Figure 1):
Find a suitable location on a wall where the fireplace will be a minimum of 2 feet to the
left and right sides and 2 feet above the fireplace from anything flammable or
combustible.
Locate a stud. At your determined level drill a 1/8" pilot hole into stud where the center
of the mounting bracket will be attached. Mount the top of the bracket to the wall using
one screw (A) and washer (B).
Using a bubble level, make sure that the bracket is level and mark the holes in the
bottom center and each corner of the bracket on the wall. Drill a 1/8" hole at the bottom
center mark and a 3/8" hole at each corner. Insert a drywall anchor (C) into the four
corner holes.
Finish installing the bracket by inserting a screw (A) with a washer (B) into each location.
NOTE: Some holes in the bracket will not be used.
