CAUTION: Two people may be
required for various steps of this
procedure.
1. Prepare a wall with a framed
opening of 30 ½ in. (77.5 cm)
wide x 16 ½ in. (42 cm) high
(Figure 7).
!
NOTE: The sizing has allowed
for ¼ in. (6.4 mm) around the
fireplace insert for ease of
installation. This fireplace does
not require any additional venting.
!
NOTE: It is recommended that
the bottom of the unit not be
mounted higher than 40 in. (102
cm) from the ground to maintain
an optimized viewing angle of the
flame.
2. Choose your method of supplying
power to the unit:
• Plug in (you may run the power
cord out of the framed wall
opening to an existing outlet or
install an outlet on a nearby wall
stud within the wall).
• Hard wire the fireplace
(recommended). Follow the hard
wiring instructions on page 8.
WARNING: Do not attempt to wire
your own new outlets or circuits. To
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
or injury to persons, always use a
licensed electrician.
