tel accessory, you must follow all clearance

location. Leave enough room to get be-
hind unit and attach mantel to base once
fireplace and mantel has been placed.
When possible, location should be within

Figure 6, page 5).

Note: Power cord comes preattached to
right side of cabinet. If it is necessary to
relocate cord to left side you must remove

Power cord must be properly mounted
and reconnected at junction box.

til nailing flanges are centered into opening
