BUILT-IN INSTALLATION

Built-in installations require a framed enclo- sure constructed of 2" x 4" or heavier lumber and sized in accordance with Figure 5. This allows unit to slide into opening and be nailed to stud at sides and top nailing flanges. These flanges accept 5/8" drywall or plywood board to finish unit flush to face. Optional trim ac- cessories are available that will extend 1/2" over rough edge of wall opening (see Acces- sories, page 25).

IMPORTANT: If installing a perimeter trim kit, you must install shoulder screws before insert- ing fireplace into opening. See instructions included with trim kit. If installing a mantel, you must follow clearance instructions (see Installation Clearances, page 4).

A hearth extension is suggested for a more pleasing appearance. The fireplace may be raised on a wood or non-combustible platform supporting its entire width and depth and extending in front of the fireplace as long as louvers are not obstructed.

Note: When installing fireplace in cold cli- mates against a non-insulated exterior wall, wall must be fully insulated in accordance with local building code.
