BUILT-IN FIREPLACE

INSTALLATION

Built-in installation of this fireplace involves installing fireplace into a framed-in enclo- sure. This makes the front of fireplace flush with wall. Follow the instructions below to install the fireplace in this manner. If install- ing a built-in mantel above the fireplace, you must follow the clearances shown in Figure 8, page 9. If using for built-in instal- lation off of the floor, follow clearances shown in Figure 3, page 7.

2.An optional blower accessory is avail- able (see Accessories, page 28). There are two options for connecting blower to electrical source.

Option one: Have a licensed electri- cian install a properly grounded, three- prong 120-volt electrical outlet at fire- place location. Locate outlet inside the framed enclosure. Blower power cord will plug into this outlet.

Option two: Have a licensed electri- cian connect blower to electrical source at junction box inside fireplace.

If using option one, have electrical out- let 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 Connecting Fireplace to Gas Supply, page 13.

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 electri- cian connect blower to electrical source at junction box inside fireplace.

7.Bend four nailing flanges on outer cas- ing with pliers (see Figure 7).

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 Connections, page 14.

IMPORTANT: When finishing your fire- box, combustible materials 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 facing. Fire- box should not be placed on top of carpet or other kinds of fibrous material.

WARNING: Do not allow any combustible materials to overlap the firebox front facing.

IMPORTANT: Noncombustible materials such as brick, tile, etc. may overlap the front facing, but should never cover any neces- sary openings like louvered slots.

WARNING: Do not allow non- combustible materials to cover any necessary openings like lou- vered slots.

WARNING: Never modify or cover the louvered slots on the front of the firebox.

WARNING: Use only noncom- bustible mortar or adhesives when overlapping the front fac- ing with noncombustible facing material.
