Recessed Installation
Installation
Electrical Cover
1. Remove the side cover panels from the fireplace by
removing the 5 screws on each of the cover panels
(4 on the back of the fireplace, 1 on the bottom).
(Figure 2)
2. If a trimless installation is desired, remove pre-
installed trim by removing the screws (number of
screws will vary by model).
(Figure 3)
!
NOTE:
The pre-installed trim helps conceal
imperfections in the drywall edges against
the fireplace and gives the fireplace a finished
appearance.
3. Prepare a framed opening, following the dimensions in
the table below.
