8. Lift the surround up and parallel to the fireplace
front. Press the Fan ON/OFF switch into the switch
bracket. It will snap into place. (Refer to Homeown­er’s manual for additional switch installation instruc­tions) Move the surround towards the fireplace about
an inch above the hearth. As you lower the surround
onto the fireplace, the side clips and top bracket will
engage mating clips. If height and width adjustments
are required, lift the surround up and out. Make the
adjustments. Regardless if adjustments were made
or not, tighten all wing screws fasteners and return
the surround to the fireplace.
