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 trim kit accessory is available
(see Accessories, page 29). Trim will extend
past sides of fireplace approximately 1/2".
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 12. Follow the
instructions below to install the fireplace in
this manner.
