WALL ANCHOR SAFETY CABLE

The use of wall anchor safety cable is highly recommended in order to reduce the risk of the
fireplace being tipped over accidentally.

WARNING : THIS CABLE MAY REDUCE POSSIBLE RISK OF INJURY IF THE
FIREPL ACE IS IMPROPERLY HANDLED, BUT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROPER
ADULT SUPERVISION. CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE LEFT UNATTENDED NEAR
ANY HEATER.

1. Drill a 8 mm (5/16 in) hole in the wall. Insert the plastic wall anchor into the hole and gently
tap until the flange on the anchor is against the wall surface.

2. Position the back edge of the mantel close to the wall.

3. Attach the safety cable to the mantel using the screw for mantel.

4. Use the screw for wall to attach the other end of safety cable to the wall.

5. Make sure all screws are tight.
