INSTALLATION
Built-in installation of this fireplace involves
installing replace into a framed-in enclosure.
This makes the front of replace ush with wall.
An optional trim kit accessory is available (see
Accessories, page 40). Trim will extend past sides
of replace approximately 1/2 inch. This will cover
the rough edges of the wall opening. If installing
a built-in mantel above the replace, you must
follow the clearances shown in Figure 10, page
12. Follow the instructions below to install the
replace in this manner.
