INSTALLATION
Relocating Wall Switch (Cont.)
CAUTION: Be careful of gas lines and wiring when
moving floor.
For Mantel Installation
If fireplace is to be installed into a mantel, (see Conventional
Fireplace Installation, pages 18 and 19) the wall switch may be
mounted on either side of the mantel, facing to the side. Do not
locate wall switch anywhere on the front face of the mantel.
1.
Determine the new location for the wall switch. The wires at-
tached to switch are six feet long.
2.
Remove 2 screws securing plastic wall plate to bracket in fire-
place lower cavity. Save screws.
3.
Remove wire tie holding coiled wire attached to wall switch
(see Figure 8).
4.
Remove wall switch/plate assembly from bracket.
5.
Carefully pass wall plate and cord through large elongated hole
in rear of either left or right floor support bracket, depending on
desired location of switch. Pass wall plate and cord through 1.5"
diameter hole in side of fireplace outer casing (see Figure 9).
6.
Pull wall plate and cord from fireplace making sure wall switch/
plate assembly will reach desired mounting location without
straining cord assembly.
If you are mounting wall switch to a wall, continue reading. If you
are mounting your wall switch to the side of the mantel, see page 11.

7.
Create three openings on wall according to Template 1, page
39. This is best done by making a pattern to work with on your
wall. Carefully cut page 39/40 from manual and tape paper
template vertically onto wall at preferred location. Pierce the
paper at the centers of the 2 holes with a nail or sharp pencil,
leaving a mark on the wall. Do the same at centers of the four
circles near the corners of the rectangle.
8.
Remove paper template from wall.
9.
Drill 3/8" holes at each mark.
10. Using a straight edge and pencil, connect the outer edges of
the 4 holes for the rectangle (see Figure 10). This will give you
cutting lines for the rectangle you will cut in the wall.
11. Using a keyhole saw, hack saw blade, drill, file, or other suit-
able tool, carefully cut out the rectangular opening.
Note:
The
corners of the rectangle may be round.
IMPORTANT:
Do not
exceed the size of the rectangle on template.
12. From inside the recessed opening for the fireplace, carefully
pass switch/plate assembly through the rectangular opening to
the outside of the wall.
13. Using wall anchors supplied in hardware package, fold wall
anchor as shown in Figure 11.
14. Insert wall anchor, wings first, into hole. Tap anchor flush to wall.
15. For thin walls (1/2" or less), insert red key into wall anchor.
Push red key to “pop” open anchor wings. See Figure 12.
IMPORTANT:
Do not hammer key! For thick walls (over 1/2"
thick), do not pop open wings.
