Built-in installation of this replace involves
installing replace into a framed-in enclosure.
This makes the front of replace ush with
wall. An optional trim kit accessory is available
(see Accessories, page 35). Trim will extend
past sides of replace approximately 1/2".
This will cover the rough edges of the wall
opening. If installing a built-in mantel above
the replace, you must follow the clearances
shown in Figure 10, page 12. Follow the
instructions below to install the replace in
this manner.
1. Frame in rough opening. Use dimensions
shown in Figure 7, page 11 for the rough
opening. If installing in a corner, use di-
mensions shown in Figure 8, page 11 for
the rough opening. The height is 26
7
/8"
which is the same as the wall opening
above.
2. If installing GA3450TA blower accessory,
do so at this time. Follow instructions
included with blower accessory.
