BUILT-IN FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Built-in installation of this fireplace involves installing fireplace into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of fireplace flush with wall. An optional brass trim kit accessory is available (see Accessories, pages 38 and 39). 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 fireplace, you must follow the clearances shown in Figure 11, page 11. Follow the instructions below to install the fireplace in this manner.

1.Frame in rough opening. Use dimensions shown in Figure 8 for the rough opening. If installing in a corner, use dimensions shown in Figure 9 for the rough opening. The height is 26 7/8" which is the same as the wall opening above.
