Pro Tips – Cam & Bolt Furniture Connectors

This electric fireplace mantel uses cam and bolt connectors for furniture assembly. These make for a quick, simple, and sturdy connection method. Following these simple steps will assure a fast and hassle-free setup.

Install U1 bolt into threaded 1/8” holes in the wood panels (FIG 1). Hand tighten only.

Use a manual Phillips head screwdriver (FIG 2) to fully tighten the bolt up to the shoulder at end of the threaded section.

Install the cam into 3/8” holes in the wood panels (FIG 3). Make sure “X” pattern is visible once installed. With Phillips head screwdriver, align the pointed leg of the “X” pattern with the bolt hole on the edge of the panel (FIG 4).

Align the prepared panel with the bolts and slide panel onto the bolts (FIG 5). Once the panel seats against the perpendicular panel, tighten the cam with the Phillips head screwdriver to complete the connection (FIG 5). The panels will snug-up for a completed connection.

Mantel Assembly

Lay out panels C, E, F. Locate 4 bolts (U1) and 4 cams (U2). Following the pro tips for connector hardware installation on page 7, connect panel C with panel E, and then Panel F. Tighten cams until panels fit snug.

Locate base panel (D), two center supports (I), 6 wood connecting blocks (U3) and 18 bolts (U4).
Connect the connecting blocks (U3) to the center supports (I) using bolts (U4). Then connect the center supports to the underside of the base panel (D) using bolts (U4). Tighten bolts until center supports are firmly connected to the base panel.

Lay out base panel D completed fireplace surround from Step 1 (C,E & F). Locate 4 bolts (U1) and 4 cams (U2). Following the pro tips on page 7, connect the fireplace surround to the top surface of base D. Tighten cams until panels fit snug.

Locate the completed base/insert surround assembly from Step 3. Locate 4 bolts (U1) and 4 cams (U2). Following the pro tips from page 7, carefully fit the side panels (G) and (H) into the holes on the ends of the base panel (D). Working from one side, make  sure the bolts sit into the connection holes. Tighten cams until panels fit snug.

With help from an adult, locate the completed base assembly from Step 4. Locate top panel (A) and 8 bolts (U1) and 8 cams (U2). Following the pro tips on page 7, carefully work from one side to the other, seating the bolts into their connection points. Tighten  cams until panels fit snug. Set the completed mantel assembly aside.

Insert Preparation

Locate the fireplace insert carton. Open the carton carefully as to not scratch or damage the fireplace insert inside. Slide the insert out of the carton on a flat surface like a table. (Pro tip: Use a moving or heavy blanket to create a soft surface and protect your  table.) All the logs are connected to the ember bed/heater with low voltage power wires and labeled A-D according to final assembled position. Lay out logs carefully without disconnecting the power wires to the logs.

Insert Assembly

Install Log A into the correct position in the front left side of the ember bed. Insert the two posts on bottom of logs into the two mounting ports in the ember bed. Carefully route the power wires as shown in Step 7 illustration below.

Install Log B into the correct position at the front right side of the ember bed. Insert the two posts on bottom of logs into the two mounting ports in the ember bed. Carefully route the power wires as shown in Step 8 illustration.

Install Log D into the correct position in center row right side of the ember bed. Insert the two posts on bottom of logs into the two mounting ports in the ember bed. Carefully route the power wires as shown in Step 9 illustration below.

Install Log C into the correct position in center row left side of the ember bed. Insert the left post into the mounting port in the ember bed and the right post into the mounting port in Log D.
Carefully route the power wires as shown in Step 11 illustration.

Install Log E into the correct position at the back left side of the ember bed. Insert the two posts on bottom of logs into the two mounting ports in the ember bed. Carefully route the power wires as shown in Step 11 illustration below.

Install Log F into the correct position at the back right side of the ember bed. Insert the two posts on bottom of logs into the two mounting ports in the ember bed. Carefully route the power wires as shown in Step 12 illustration.

The completed Electric Fireplace Insert is now ready for installation into the decorative mantel.
Please follow steps 13-21 to complete your Media Electric Fireplace. Logs can easily be removed if you make a mistake in the order or position of installation.

From the back side of the mantel assembly, carefully slide the completed electric fireplace insert into the mantel. The heater will drop into the cavity in the base panel, which puts the insert into the proper position to complete the fireplace. Handle the insert  carefully, making sure that the log wires are not pinched during installation. Make sure the power cord is free of obstruction from the back of the insert.

Electric Fireplace Assembly

Locate part P, the front glass (you can clean the glass prior to installation). From the back of the media console, carefully slide the front glass into the insert cavity over the insert. Slowly lower the glass onto the front edge of the insert and tilt up to fill the front opening of the mantel.

Locate the glass mounting brackets (U5) and 4 screws (U6). Holding the glass into place against the back side of the front surround trim panels, carefully insert the screws and twist by hand. Finish tightening the screws with a manual Phillips head screwdriver.

Locate back panels (B, K, O, J) and 34 mounting screws (U7). Secure panel K in place with the mounting screws that are evenly spaced around the panel. You can leave the screws a little loose.
Repeat for panels B, O, and J. Once the panels are positioned correctly, tighten all screws with a power drill. Note: Back panels are key to the stability of the furniture, so carefully pay attention to the installation of these parts.

Locate the 2 doors (L, M), hinges (U9), and mounting screws (U8). Using the screws, mount the hinges to the back of the doors using the provided pilot holes.
Locate the 2 door pulls (U11) and bolts (U10). Attach the handles to the front of the doors through the mounting holes provided. Tighten with a Phillips head screwdriver.

Pro Tips – Hinge/Door Adjustment

Locate the 8 shelf pins (U12). Install 2 on each of the 4 interior vertical panels. Make sure the pins are mounted in the same row. Mount so that the shelf will sit on the shelf pin and lock the shelf pin into the mounting hole. Adjust to fit your storage needs.

Locate the 2 storage shelves (N).
Install the 2 shelves onto the shelf pins installed in Step 19.

Your electric fireplace is now complete. Carefully move the unit to its permanent place in your home.
Make sure to get help lifting the completed unit as it can be very heavy. Plug the electric fireplace directly into a wall outlet and enjoy your new electric fireplace. Please follow all warning and operating instructions.
