RELOCATING WALL SWITCH
Note:
The decorative wall switch plate sup-
plied is white. The wall switch plate may be
painted to match your decor.
The push-button switch and decorative wall
plate assembly supplied with your fireplace
is pre-mounted at the factory in the lower
cavity of the fireplace. You may relocate this
switch/plate assembly to a more convenient
location such as the side of your mantel or
directly onto the wall near the fireplace. To
mount the wall switch/plate assembly, you
must first cut openings in the mantel or wall
where the switch will be located.
Note:
If you choose to relocate the wall
switch, do so before final installation into a
mantel or recessing into a wall. If you are
installing an optional blower accessory, in-
stall it at the same time you relocate the wall
switch.
