door will close without rubbing against the sides of the
frame, tighten all screws.
H. Open the control door.
I. Insert the door stop chain into the receiving slot in the control
door.
J. Insert the door stop chain into the receiving slot in the
frame so that when fully open the control door has a
clearance of 1/8” to the finished wall.
NOTE: In most cases, a count of 9
balls between receiving slots will
give the desired clearance.
K. Close the control door.
The frame has been designed to
accommodate finished material thicknesses
of .500” - .750”. If it is necessary to pull the
frame out to the max. .750” the
magnetic catch will need to be adjusted.
Minor adjustment can be made by remov-
ing shims from behind the magnet. Major
adjustments can be made by moving the
magnet to the outside of the panel.
Adjustment may be required to accommodate the door stop chain slack when the control door is closed. The control
door securing screws can be loosened to allow adjustment. Before re-tightening the screws ensure the control door is
still recessed into the frame at a similar offset to the top trim piece.
A. Using the installation template (W122-0401)

your new Torch, see “DIMENSIONS” or “MINIMUM
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES” section. Mark
all 14 hole centres on the wall (surface) using the
template.

the back of the torch as illustrated. Secure with the
appropriate fasteners.

and fasteners, drill the appropriate holes. Hold
the Torch up, aligning the mounting brackets to
the mounting holes. Secure the Torch to the wall

has been designed to have a 1/2” clearance
between the rear outer panel and the mounting
surface.
D. Start the fasteners into each of the six remaining
mounting holes. Align the keyholes of the frame to
the heads of the fasteners and slide the frame down
onto the fasteners. Ensure the frame is plumb and
level before tightening the fasteners. NOTE: It is
