BUILT-IN INSTALLATION

Built-in installations require a framed enclosure constructed of 2" x 4" or heavier lumber and sized in accordance with Figure 6. 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 accessories are available that will extend 1/2" over rough edge of wall opening (see Accessories , page 17).

IMPORTANT: If installing a perimeter trim kit, you must install shoulder screws before inserting fireplace into opening. See instructions included with trim kit. If installing a mantel, you must follow clearance instructions (see Installation Clearances, page 5).
