Continued

For Mantel Installation

If fireplace is to be installed into a mantel, (see Conventional Fireplace Installation, page 16) 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.

CAUTION: Do not apply ex- cessive pull on cord.

7.Create three openings on wall according to Template 1, page 39. This is best done by making a pattern to work with on your wall. Carefully cut page 39 from manual and tape paper template vertically onto wall at pre- ferred location. Pierce the paper at the centers 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.

8.Remove paper template from wall.

9.Drill 3/8" holes at each mark.

10.Using a straight edge and pencil, connect the outer edges of the 4 holes for the rectangle (see Figure 10). This will give you cutting lines for the rectangle you will cut in the wall.
