Installation Instructions
!NOTE: Two people are required for installation.
1. Prepare a wall with a framed opening, following the dimensions shown in Figure 3. The replace can either be
installed partially-recessed (2x4 frame) or ush-mounted (2x6 frame).
CAUTION: Decorative nishing material (such as brick) should be limited to ½" (13 mm) overhang to ensure
adequate ow of heated air out of the rebox area.
CAUTION: This replace is NOT load-bearing. Ensure the opening for the replace is framed in such a way that
the weight of the building materials will not create pressure on the top of the replace.
!NOTE: For 2"x4" construction where the unit will be partially recessed, it is recommended to use XLFTRIM kit
(sold separately) to accomodate the protruing portion of the replace.
