BUILT-IN FIREPLACE

INSTALLATION

Built-in installation of this fireplace involves in- stalling fireplace into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of fireplace flush with wall. An optional trim kit accessory is available (see Ac- cessories, page 30). 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 fol- low the clearances shown in Figure 11, page 12. Follow the instructions below to install the fire- place in this manner.

If installing in a corner, use dimensions shown in Figure 9, page 11, for the rough opening. The height is 26 7/8" which is the same as the wall opening above.
