manner. If installing a built-in mantel above the
fireplace, you must follow the clearances shown
in Figure 8, page 11.
Note:
If desired, purchase a four-sided trim kit for
built-in installations. See

is 26
1
/
8
" which is the same as the wall opening
above.
2. An optional blower accessory is available (see
Accessories
, page 35). There are two options
for connecting blower to electrical source.
Option one:
Have a licensed electrician install
a properly grounded, three-prong 120-volt
electrical outlet at fireplace location. Locate
outlet inside the framed enclosure. Blower
power cord will plug into this outlet.
Option two:
Have a licensed electrician con-
nect blower to electrical source at junction box
inside fireplace.
If using option one, have electrical outlet in-
stalled at this time. If using option two, do not
connect blower to electrical source at junction
box until step 6.
3. Install gas piping to fireplace location. This
installation includes an approved flexible gas
line (if allowed by local codes) after the equip-
ment shutoff valve. The flexible gas line must
be the last item installed on the gas piping.
4. Carefully set fireplace in front of rough opening
with back of fireplace inside wall opening.

tor. See
