Framing

Framing can be constructed before or after the fireplace is set in place, however, most installers build the frame before setting the fireplace.

Frame fireplace with 2 x 4 lumber or heavier materi- als. Refer to framing dimensions in Figure 1 for basic fireplace specifications.

NOTE: Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering and fireplace facing material.

Installing Electrical Wire

The fan requires 120VAC, 60 Hz power which may be connected to the right side of the fireplace using the romex pigtail provided with teh unit. This power must be completed before the fireplace is secured and finish material applied.

1.Attach the white wire from house power to the white wire of the romex pigtail and secure with a wire nut.

2.Attach the black wire from the house power to the black wire of the romex pigtail and secure with a wire nut.

3.Attach the ground wire from house power to the ground wire of the romex pigtail and secure with a wire nut. (Fig. 8)

IMPORTANT: The wire nuts must be tight.

Chimney Set-up

Since you have already preplanned the chimney run, you should know exactly how the installation is to be accomplished — how much pipe is required, the number of elbows, if any, and type of termination to be used.

CAUTION: REPORT TO YOUR DEALERS ANY PARTS DAMAGED IN SHIPMENT, SPECIFICALLY CHECK THE END CONNECTION OF CHIMNEY SEC- TIONS AND ELBOWS.

Note: The M400BFC fireplace must use MHSC Model triple wall 8” chimney components only. The installation procedure described in this manual applies only to this system.

Straight-Up Chimney Installation

To mark the centerline of the flue, put the fireplace in final position and measure out from the wall: 8³⁄₄" (222 mm). Mark a spot on the ceiling directly above the fire- place. Draw a line parallel to the back wall through this mark. (Fig. 9)

Using a plumb bob positioned directly over center point of fireplace flue collar, mark the ceiling to establish the chimney center point. (Fig. 9)
