FRAMING DEPTH and FINISHING GUIDES
This fireplace comes with one standard finishing guide that will be used with any inside finish decorative front. Door installation
will require the use of a faceplate. Grace, Mission and Willowbrook fronts have optional finishing applications depending on
what wall finishing material and what finished look you want to achieve. Refer to the Grace/Willowbrook/Mission front guide
options.
It is important to know what wall finish is being used and what finish option is preferred prior to unit installation when choosing
a Grace, Willowbrook or Mission front.
When the wall finish material will exceed 2 ½” in depth, the Recessed Mount guide kit will be required to allow the decorativ
e
front to install properly.
All finish guides, standard or optional, protrude 1” from the
face of the unit. Factory guides are installed with rivets and can be
removed with a
⅛” drill bit.
The finish guide used should be permanently left in place.
GRACE/WILLOWBROOK/MISSION FRONT GUIDE OPTIONS
This fireplace comes with guides to ensure finish materials do not encroach into the convection air area of the fireplace. Some
decorative fronts for this fireplace come with additional guides for different finishing and appearance options.
There are two options for finishing the fireplace when installing a Mission, Grace or Willowbrook front. One of two guide kits
must be ordered.
Please read the following instruction before installing the finishing material on the front of this fireplace. If you have any
questions about finishing the fireplace, contact a Mendota dealer or the Mendota Service Department.
