7.Create three openings in the mantel wall ac- cording to Template 2, page 39. This is best done by making a pattern to work with on the mantel. Carefully cut page 39 from manual and tape paper template vertically onto mantel wall at preferred 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 mantel wall.

9.Drill 1/8" pilot holes at each mark for top and bottom screw holes. Drill 3/8" holes at each mark for centers of four circles near corners of rectangle.

10.Using a straight edge and pencil, connect the outer edges of the 4 holes for the rectangle (see Figure 10, page 11). This will give you cutting lines for the rectangle you will cut in the mantel wall.

12.Carefully pass wall switch assembly through rectangular opening from inside mantel (see Figure 13).

13.Position wall switch assembly vertically over opening with decal lettering upright. Make sure wires freely pass through wall without binding. Align holes in wall plate with 1/8” pilot holes in mantel wall.

14.Drive mounting screws, removed in step 2 of Relocating Wall Switch Assembly on pages 10 and 11, through wall plate holes and into pilot holes in mantel wall.
