BUILT-IN FIREPLACE

INSTALLATION

Built-in installation of this fireplace involves in- stalling fireplace into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of fireplace flush with wall. Follow the instructions below to install the fireplace in this manner. If installing a built-in mantel above the fireplace, you must follow the clearances shown in Figure 8, page 11.

Note: If desired, purchase a four-sided trim kit for built-in installations. See Accessories, page 35.

	Actual	Framing
Height	26"	26 7/8"
Front Width	26 3/4"	26 7/8"
Depth	9 1/2"	10 1/2"
Bottom	3/4"	3/4"

1.Frame in rough opening. Use dimensions shown in Figure 5 for the rough opening.

If installing in a corner, use dimensions shown in Figure 6 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 35). There are two options for connecting blower to electrical 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 con- nect blower to electrical source at junction box inside fireplace.

If using option one, have electrical outlet in- stalled 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 equip- ment 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 regula- tor. See Connecting Fireplace to Gas Supply, page 16.
