BUILT-IN FIREPLACE
INSTALLATION
Built-in installation of this fireplace involves
installing fireplace into a framed-in enclo-
sure. This makes the front of fireplace flush
with wall. An optional brass trim kit acces-
sory is available (see Accessories, pages 26
and 27). Brass trim will extend past sides of
fireplace approximately 1/2 inch. This will
cover the rough edges of the wall opening. If
installing a built-in mantel above the fire-
place, you must follow the clearances shown
in Figure 12, page 10. Follow the instructions
below to install the fireplace in this manner.
Note:
Your Comfort Glow fireplace is de-
signed to be used in zero clearance installa-
tions. Wall or framing material can be placed
directly against any exterior surface on the
rear, sides, or top of your fireplace.
