BUILT-IN FIREPLACE
INSTALLATION
Built-in installation of this fireplace involves in-
stalling fireplace into a framed-in enclosure. This
makes the front of fireplace flush with wall. An
optional trim kit accessory is available (see Ac-
cessories, pages 36 and 37). Trim will extend past
sides of fireplace approximately 1/2 inch. This will
cover the rough edges of the wall opening. If in-
stalling a built-in mantel above the fireplace, you
must follow the clearances shown in Figure 10,
page 12. Follow the instructions below to install
the fireplace in this manner.
