Note: When installing fireplace directly on car-
peting, tile or other combustible material, other
than wood flooring, the fireplace shall be installed
on a metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the fireplace.
CAUTION: If you install the
fireplace in a home garage
• fireplace pilot and burner must
be at least 18 inches above floor.
• locate fireplace where moving
vehicle will not hit it.
For convenience and efficiency, install fireplace
• where there is easy access for operation, inspec-
tion, and service.
• in coldest part of room.
An optional blower kit is available from your dealer
(see Accessories, page 30). If planning to use
blower, locate fireplace near an electrical outlet.
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 30). 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 fol-
low the clearances shown in Figure 11, page 12.
Follow the instructions below to install the fire-
place in this manner.
