BUILT-IN FIREPLACE
INSTALLATION
Built-in installation of this fireplace involves in-
stalling fireplace into a framed-in enclosure. This
makes the front of fireplace flush with wall. An
optional trim kit accessory is available (see Ac-
cessories, page 40). 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 10, page
11. Follow the instructions below to install the fire-
place in this manner.
