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 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.
