INSTALLATION PREPARATION

ACCESS PANEL

Flare recommends you build an access panel somewhere near the fireplace. This will provide easy access to all the
necessary parts that may need servicing, over time. While Flare also offers access to these components by going inside
the fireplace, with instructions HERE, you will find having a dedicated area where all your components can be easily
accessed for servicing, without the need to remove the glass, media, & burner is the preferred method.

FIREPLACE TELESCOPIC LEGS SETUP

The fireplace legs will need to be set up once box is removed. The legs can be configured so that the bottom of the
glass will be between 10”-19” above the floor. This means the bottom of the fireplace will be 4”-13” above the floor.
Follow the steps below for telescopic legs setup prior to final positioning of the fireplace.

On Corner units (Flare-RC/LC/DC/RD) front legs will need to be assembled.

Fireplace must NOT be installed without telescopic legs extracted to a minimum of 3”.

Installing fireplace without telescopic legs is a fire hazard.

Installing the Fireplace without legs (sitting on the fireplace frame) may bend the frame & cause glass breakage.

Fine Tuning

After extending the legs to the desired length, use
the wrench included to fine tune the feet so that
the fireplace is level.

Note that the feet are intended for minimal
adjustments and not to be extended completely for
extra height. Doing so will make the fireplace
unstable.

LEG SETUP FOR FRONT AND SEE-THROUGH UNITS

• Step1 - Release the pin.

• Step2 – Release the 2 screws from the leg.

• Step 3 – Extend the telescopic leg to the desired length, minimum 4” (That will set the fireplace 10” from the

bottom of the glass to the floor).

• Step 4 – Retighten the three screws to secure the telescopic leg in position. Note that the top pin inserts into

the holes only for alignment. The two bottom screws tighten down on the legs.

• Step 5 – Repeat Steps 1-4 for each on the fireplace so that they are all extended to the same length.

• Step 6 – Stand the fireplace up and fine tune the feet with the wrench included so the fireplace is level. Open

the screws to raise the fireplace. Close the screws to lower the fireplace.
