What We’ll Cover:
Choosing the Best Location
Select a spot with good visibility and access to a power outlet. Ensure the wall has sufficient strength to support the unit and offers safe clearance from flammable materials.
Measuring and Marking the Wall
Measure your fireplace and mark the wall accordingly. Use a level to ensure the marks are perfectly aligned to prevent a tilted installation.
Mounting Bracket Installation
Learn which screws and anchors to use for securing the mounting bracket. Make sure to mount it to studs for maximum support.
Positioning and Securing the Fireplace
Lift the fireplace carefully and attach it to the wall bracket. Secure it according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it sits flush against the wall.
Making Electrical Connections
Plug the unit directly into the power outlet or consider hardwiring for a more seamless finish (consult an electrician if needed).
Adding Final Touches
Finish up by installing any included trims, adjusting heat settings, and exploring decorative options like LED backlighting for an added glow.
