BUILT-IN FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Built-in installation of this fireplace involves installing fireplace into
a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of fireplace flush with
wall. An optional brass trim kit accessory is available (see Accesso-

mately 1/2 inch. This will cover the rough edges of the wall opening.
If installing a built-in mantel above the fireplace, you must follow the
clearances shown in Figure 12, page 10. Follow the instructions
below to install the fireplace in this manner.
