INSTALLATION

Continued

Note: If you choose to relocate the wall switch assembly, do so before final installation into a mantel or recessing into a wall. If you are installing an optional blower accessory, install it at the same time you relocate the wall switch assembly.

CAUTION: The wall switch assembly must never be mount- ed directly above the fireplace where heat may damage it. If you relocate wall switch assembly from lower fireplace cavity, it must be mounted either on side wall of mantel or on wall to side of fireplace.

For Recessed Installation

If fireplace is to be recessed into a wall (see Built-In Fireplace Installation, page 21), we recommend mounting wall switch assembly to left side of fireplace. The wall switch assembly should be mounted approximately 12" from left edge of fireplace and less than 60" from the floor. IMPORTANT: Do not locate wall switch assembly directly in front of wall stud - there must be room behind wall board for wires from switch. If you choose to locate wall switch assembly to right side of fireplace, the length of the cord restricts you to less than 6" from right edge of fireplace and less than 48" from floor.

For Mantel Installation

If fireplace is to be installed into a mantel, (see Conventional Fireplace Installation, page 20) the wall switch assembly may be mounted on either side of the mantel, facing to the side. Do not locate wall switch assembly anywhere on the front face of the mantel.

CAUTION: Be careful of gas lines and wiring when moving floor.

1.Determine the new location for the wall switch assembly. The wires attached to switch are six feet long.

2.Remove 2 screws securing plastic wall switch assembly to bracket in fireplace lower cavity. Save screws.

3.Remove wire tie holding coiled wire attached to wall switch assembly (see Figure 8).

4.Remove wall switch assembly from bracket.

5.Carefully pass wall switch assembly and cord through large elongated hole in rear of either left or right floor support bracket, depending on desired location of switch. Pass wall switch as- sembly and cord through 1.5" diameter hole in side of fireplace outer casing (see Figure 9).

6.Pull wall switch assembly and cord from fireplace making sure wall switch assembly will reach desired mounting location without straining cord assembly.

If you are mounting wall switch assembly to a wall, continue reading. If you are mounting your wall switch assembly to the side of the mantel, see page 12.

7.Create three openings on wall according to Template 1, page 41. This is best done by making a pattern to work with on your wall. Carefully cut page 41/42 from manual and tape paper template vertically onto wall at preferred location. Pierce the paper at the cen- ters of the 2 holes with a nail or sharp pencil, leaving a mark on the wall. Do the same at centers of the four circles near the corners of the rectangle.
