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.
IMPORTANT: More than one person is required to lift
assembled mantel. Lift mantel by leg assemblies. Lifting
by header or mantel top could damage mantel.
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. Panels
must be held in proper alignment to each other while tightening screws to assure fewer gaps and proper surface align-
ment. When tightening screws, do not over tighten. This may
cause threads to strip. The supplied Allen 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: A serial number label is located inside of right
side panel and on outside package. When calling to request
technical assistance or for replacement parts please have
serial number ready.
