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. An optional trim kit accessory is available (see Ac- cessories, page 40). 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, you must follow the clearances shown in Figure 10, page

11.Follow the instructions below to install the fire- place in this manner.

Depth	9 1/2"	10 1/2"
Bottom	3/4"	3/4"

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