BUILT-IN FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Built-in installation of this fireplace involves installing fireplace
into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of fireplace flush
with wall. An optional brass trim kit accessory is available (see
Accessories, page 26). Brass trim will extend past sides of fireplace
approximately 1/2 inch. This will cover the rough edges of the wall
opening. If installing a built-in mantel above the fireplace you must
follow the clearances shown in Figure 12, page 10. Follow the
instructions below to install the fireplace in this manner.
