For Mantel Installation
If fireplace is to be installed into a mantel, (see
Conventional Fireplace Installation, page 16) the
wall switch assembly may be mounted on either
side of the mantel, facing to the side. Do not locate
wall switch assembly anywhere on the front face
of the mantel.
CAUTION: Be careful of gas
lines and wiring when moving
floor.
1. Determine the new location for the wall switch
assembly. The wires attached to switch are six
feet long.
2. Remove 2 screws securing plastic wall switch
assembly to bracket in fireplace lower cavity.
Save screws.
3. Remove wire tie holding coiled wire attached
to wall switch assembly (see Figure 8).
4. Remove wall switch assembly from bracket.
5. Carefully pass wall switch assembly and cord
through large elongated hole in rear of either
left or right floor support bracket, depending on
desired location of switch. Pass wall switch as-
sembly and cord through 1.5" diameter hole in
side of fireplace outer casing (see Figure 9).

6. Pull wall switch assembly and cord from
fireplace making sure wall switch assembly
will reach desired mounting location without
straining cord assembly.

Mounting Wall Switch Assembly to Wall
for Recessed Fireplace
7. Create three openings on wall according to
Template 1, page 37. This is best done by
making a pattern to work with on your wall.
Carefully cut page 37 from manual and tape
paper template vertically onto wall at pre-
ferred location. Pierce the paper at the centers
of the 2 holes with a nail or sharp pencil,
leaving a mark on the wall. Do the same at
centers of the four circles near the corners of
the rectangle.
8. Remove paper template from wall.
9. Drill 3/8" holes at each mark.
10. Using a straight edge and pencil, connect the
outer edges of the 4 holes for the rectangle (see
Figure 10). This will give you cutting lines for
the rectangle you will cut in the wall.
