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. An optional brass trim kit acces- sory is available (see Accessories, pages 26 and 27). Brass 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 fire- place, you must follow the clearances shown in Figure 12, page 10. Follow the instructions below to install the fireplace in this manner. Note: Your Comfort Glow fireplace is de- signed to be used in zero clearance installa- tions. Wall or framing material can be placed directly against any exterior surface on the rear, sides, or top of your fireplace.

	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"

WARNING: If pre-wiring, do not connect wiring to any electri- cal source at this time.

Install fireplace electrical outlet and connect wiring to outlet be- fore connecting to electrical source. The fireplace electrical outlet is included with the GA3450T blower accessory.

Only use the fireplace electrical outlet supplied with the GA3450T blower accessory.

10.If using optional brass trim kit, install the trim after final finishing and/or painting of wall. See instructions in- cluded with brass trim accessory for at- taching brass trim.

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.

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 noncom- bustible materials to cover any nec- essary openings like louvered slots.

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