Fireplace Installation
CAUTION: Sub-surface
mounting should be limited
to ½ in. (10 mm) to ensure
adequate air flow of heated air
out of the firebox area.

opening of 16 in. (40.6 cm)
high,
• XLF50 - 50 ⅝ in. (128.7 cm)
• XLF74 - 74 ⅝ in. (189.7 cm)

wide, with a bottom sill that is
a minimum of 3.5 in. (9.0 cm)

NOTE: It is recommended that
the bottom of the unit be mounted
between 30 in. (76.2 cm) and
40 in. (101.6 cm) from the ground

WARNING: Do not attempt
to wire your own new circuits. To
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
or injury to persons, always use a
licensed electrician.
WARNING: Ensure that the
circuit on which the fireplace is
to be installed has the power
cut off at the service panel until
installation is complete.
2. The unit is provided with an
installed ¾ in. (2.0 cm) trim.
Depending on the installation,
this trim can be removed by
removing the securing screws
and the 4 trim pieces.
3. Ensuring a minimum of 18 in.
(46.7 cm) of slack, route the
supply power wire through a
cable clamp (not included) and
