Note: Gather all mantel pieces together before assembling
mantel.
WARNING: Use only 1/2" screws to attach metal
angle brackets. Damage to mantel will result if other
screws are used for this purpose.
ASSEMBLING MANTEL
IMPORTANT: More than one person is required to assemble and lift mantel.
Estimated assembly time: 45 minutes.
When assembling mantel do not tighten screws completely
until told to do so. There should be some play in the pieces
to allow for proper alignment and best possible t. It is very
important that more than one person assemble mantel together.
Panels must be held in proper alignment to each other while
tightening screws to assure fewer gaps and proper surface
alignment. When tightening screws, do not over tighten. This
may cause threads to strip. For this reason, the supplied Al-
len wrench should be used rather than a power screwdriver.
Panels have threaded inserts installed at screw locations.
Screws should start and turn easily in threaded holes when
assembled according to instructions. Do not force screws
into holes.
IMPORTANT: There is a serial number label inside of right
side panel and on outside package. When calling to request
technical assistance or for replacement parts please have
that number ready.

a smooth set. Determine which set you prefer. Discard
other set.
