POSITIONING THE HEATER
When positioning the heater, the following conditions
MUST be met! (See Figure 2.)
1. The front of the damper opening must be positioned
BEHIND the rear edge of the lintel to ensure proper
draft. (See Figure 2.)
2. Center the heater in the fireplace opening.
MOUNTING THE TRIM PANELS
After the unit is positioned, mark the mounting position
of the trim panels as follows:
1. Set the side trim panels in place, flat against the
face of the fireplace. Mark down the front edge of
the trim panel with a pencil to make a vertical
reference line. (See Figure 3.)
2. Set the top (long) trim panel in place on top
of the unit. The panel should be flat against the
outside face of the fireplace, and standing vertically.
Mark along the lower edge of the trim panel with a
pencil to make a reference line for mounting.
3. Slide the unit out of the fireplace far enough to work
behind the trim panel reference lines.
