BUILT-IN FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Built-in installation of this fireplace involves installing fireplace into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of fireplace flush with wall. An optional brass trim kit accessory is available (see Accessories, page 29). Brass trim will extend past sides of fireplace approximately 1/2 inch. This will cover the rough edges of the wall opening. If installing a built-in mantel above the fireplace, but you must follow the clearances shown in Figure 11, page 13. Follow the instructions below to install the fireplace in this manner. Note: Your Vanguard fireplace is designed to be used in zero clearance installations. Wall or framing material can be placed directly against any exterior surface on the rear, sides, or top of your fireplace.

2.An optional blower accessory is available (see Accessories, page 29). There are three options for connecting blower to electrical source.

Option one: Install fireplace near an electrical outlet. See Blower Instructions for power cord length.

Option two: Have a licensed electrician install a properly grounded, three-prong 120-volt electrical outlet at fireplace location. Locate outlet inside the framed enclosure. Blower power cord will plug into this outlet. Option three: Have a licensed electrician connect blower to electrical source at junction box inside fireplace.

If using option one, have electrical outlet installed at this time. If using option two, do not connect blower to electrical source at junction box until step 7.

3.Install gas piping to fireplace location. This installation includes an approved flexible gas line (if allowed by local codes) after the manual shutoff valve. The flexible gas line must be the last item installed on the gas piping.

4.If you have not assembled firebox, follow instructions on page 5.
