Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
- Follow Instructions: Refer to the 'Easy to follow assembly instructions' provided with your mantel surround. It is crucial to follow these steps meticulously.
- Assemble Frame: Connect the various MDF panels using the provided hardware (screws, cam locks, dowels). Ensure all connections are secure before proceeding.

Compatibility
This mantel surround is specifically designed for 16-inch electric fireplace inserts. It is compatible with the FlameKo Verona 16” fireplace insert and other similarly sized electric inserts. Please verify the dimensions of your chosen insert to ensure a perfect fit.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the MDF surface, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the mantel with a dry, soft cloth or a feather duster.
- Protection: While the mantel is designed for decoration, avoid placing excessively heavy objects or items with sharp edges directly on the surface to prevent dents or scratches.
- Moisture: As it is made of MDF, protect the mantel from spills and high humidity to prevent swelling or warping. Wipe any spills immediately.
