1.Frame in rough opening. Use dimensions shown in Figure 6 for the rough opening.

If installing in a corner, use dimensions shown in Figure 7 for the rough opening. The height is 26 1/8" which is the same as the wall opening above.

2.An optional blower accessory is available (see Accessories, page 29). There are two options for connecting blower to elec- trical source.

Option one: 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 two: Have a licensed electrician connect blower to elec- trical 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 6.

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

4.Carefully set fireplace in front of rough opening with back of fireplace inside wall opening.

5.Attach flexible gas line to fireplace gas regulator. See Con- necting Fireplace to Gas Supply, pages 13 and 14.

6.If the optional blower has been installed connect blower to electrical source.

Option one: Route blower electrical cord through side or rear access door of fireplace. Plug electrical cord into electrical outlet.

Option two: Have a licensed electrician connect blower to elec- trical source at junction box inside fireplace.

7.Bend four nailing flanges on outer casing with pliers (see Figure 8, page 9).

8.Attach fireplace to wall studs using nails or wood screws through holes in nailing flange.

9.Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Con- nections, pages 14 and 15.

IMPORTANT: When finishing your firebox, combustible materi- als such as wall board, gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood, etc. may be butted up next to the sides and top of the firebox. Combustible materials should never overlap the firebox front fac- ing. Firebox should not be placed on top of carpet or other kinds of fibrous material.

WARNING: Do not allow any combustible materi- als to overlap the firebox front facing.
