screws around face to lock fireplace into
mantel facing.

instructions.
BUILT-IN INSTALLATION
Built-in installations require a framed enclo-
sure constructed of 2" x 4" or heavier lumber
and sized in accordance with Figure 8. This
allows unit to slide into opening and be nailed
to stud at sides and top nailing flanges. These
flanges accept 5/8" drywall or plywood board
to finish unit flush to face. Optional trim ac-
cessories are available that will extend 1/2"
over rough edge of wall opening (see Acces-
sories, page 23).

IMPORTANT: If installing a perimeter trim kit,
you must install shoulder screws before insert-
ing fireplace into opening. See instructions
included with trim kit. If installing a mantel,
you must follow clearance instructions (see
Installation Clearances, page 4).
A hearth extension is suggested for a more
pleasing appearance. The fireplace may be
raised on a wood or non-combustible platform
supporting its entire width and depth and
extending in front of the fireplace as long as
louvers are not obstructed.
Note: When installing fireplace in cold cli-
mates against a non-insulated exterior wall,
wall must be fully insulated in accordance with
local building code.
