7. Create three openings on wall according to Tem-
plate 1, page 39. This is best done by making a
pattern to work with on your wall. Carefully
cut page 41/42 from manual and tape paper
template vertically onto wall at preferred loca-
tion. 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.
11. Using a keyhole saw, hack saw blade, drill, file,
or other suitable tool, carefully cut out the rect-
angular opening. Note: The corners of the rect-
angle may be round. IMPORTANT: Do not ex-
ceed the size of the rectangle on template.

12. From inside the recessed opening for the fire-
place, carefully pass switch/plate assembly
through the rectangular opening to the out-
side of the wall.
13. Using wall anchors supplied in hardware pack-
age, fold wall anchor as shown in Figure 11.
14. Insert wall anchor, wings first, into hole. Tap
anchor flush to wall.
15. For thin walls (1/2" or less), insert red key into
wall anchor. Push red key to "pop" open an-
chor wings. See Figure 12. IMPORTANT: Do
not hammer key! For thick walls (over 1/2"
thick), do not pop open wings.
16. Position switch/plate assembly vertically over
wall openings with decal lettering upright (see
Figure 13).
17. Insert mounting screws, removed in step 2 of
Relocating Wall Switch on page 10, through
holes in wall plate and into wall anchors.
18. Tighten screws until wall plate is firmly at-
tached to wall. Do not overtighten.
