dimensions in the Framing section (page 11).
CAUTION: Ensure there is an air inlet with a path for
air flow to reach the underside of the unit.
3. Place the firebox into the framed opening. Ensure the
unit is level. A bubble level is included in the hardware
kit provided.
4. Secure the firebox to the frame using the previously
removed mounting brackets. The unit must be
secured to the frame with the mounting brackets.

instructions in the section Water Supply Connection
(page 13).
