Fireplace Installation (continued)
CAUTION: Sub-surface
mounting should be limited
to
½
in. (10 mm) to ensure
adequate air flow of heated air
out of the firebox area.
To frame the fireplace:
1. Prepare a wall with a framed
opening of 16 in. (40.6 cm)
high, 60
⅝
in. (154.0 cm) wide,
with a bottom sill that is a
minimum
of 3.5 in. (9.0 cm)
deep (Figure 2). The sill can
be constructed to support the
front of the unit to allow the
power supply wires to easily
be run behind or flush with the
back of the unit and a pass
thru hole drilled for electrical
wire routing.
WARNING:
The top of the
fireplace is to be a minimum of
8 in (20.4 cm) from the ceiling.
!
NOTE:
It is recommended
that the bottom of the unit be
mounted between 30 in. (76.2
cm) and 40 in. (101.6 cm)
from the ground to maintain an
optimized viewing angle of the
flame.
WARNING:
Do not attempt
to wire your own new circuits.
To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or injury to
persons, always use a licensed
electrician.
WARNING:
Ensure that the
circuit on which the fireplace is
to be installed has the power
cut off at the service panel
until installation is complete.
2. The unit is provided with an
installed ¾ in. (2.0 cm) trim.
Depending on the installation,
this trim can be removed by
removing the securing screws
and the 4 trim pieces.
3. Ensuring a minimum of 18 in.
(46.7 cm) of slack, route the
supply power wire through a
cable clamp (not included) and
in the opening in the back of the
unit. (Figure 3)
