LG B-VENT GAS GC3 User Manual

(*Insert bottom is the metal lip below the lower gold trim bar).

The FireStar™ insert comes with four 3/8”X 3” leveling bolts

(two for use at the rear and two at the front of the insert).

The two at the rear can be used to raise the back of the insert

resting on the fireplace hearth. The two at the front can be

used to adjust the front of the insert on the hearth extension.

To install the bolts a 3/8” nut should be threaded onto the

bolt, followed by a 3/8” flat washer. The bolt should then

be installed from the under side of the insert into the captive

nut in the bottom of the insert. When the bolt is adjusted

to the proper height the nut previously threaded onto the

bolt can be snugged up to the insert bottom.

The  letters  below,  C  through  H,  correspond  to  Figure  4

The shield should be made from 18-gage or thicker sheet

insert and spaced one inch below the mantel. The shield

can be fastened to and spaced from the mantel using four

to six screws.
