sources. Never locate the appliance where it may fall into
a bathtub or other water container.
When choosing a location for your replace ensure that
the general rules are followed:
• For best results, install out of direct sunlight.
• Power supply service must be installed within
proximity of electric replace prior to nishing to
avoid reconstruction.
• See Figure 3.1 for appliance dimensions and to
determine location of appliance installation.

clearance around air openings and for service access.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be locat-
ed out of trafc and away from furniture and draperies.
NOTICE: Illustrations reect typical installations and are
FOR DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY. Illustrations/diagrams
are not drawn to scale. Actual installation may vary due to
individual design preference.

prevent debris or water from falling from the chimney
to electric replace.
2. Close or seal off the chimney ue and close damper
(if applicable) to prevent rain inltration.
3. Do not install in an existing replace that is prone to
dampness.
4. A provision must be made for the appliance to be
connected to power within an existing rebox, or on
an adjacent wall.
Note: Minimum dimensions apply to both combustible and non-combustible construction.

The surround is required for installation. The surround
can overlap both combustible and non-combustible wall
facing materials. Wall nishing materials, such as wood
or stone, can be installed up to the outer edge of the sur-
round. Wall or oor nishing materials cannot overlap
the front face of the surround. See Figure 4.4 for mantel
clearances.

Figure 4.4 Mantel - Surround
E. Installing Appliance
Once the leveling brackets and surround are securely
attached to the appliance, it can be t into the existing
replace or constructed chase.
1. Place a protective cover over the nished ooring in
front of the replace or wall opening.
2. Locate the appliance in front of the replace or wall
opening.
3. Connect the power cord to the receptacle if the
electrical service is located inside the existing replace
or constructed chase. The cord will need to be loosely
coiled inside the cavity along the right side of the
appliance.
4. If necessary, adjust leveling brackets to achieve
desired height.
5. Slide the appliance into the opening until the surround
contacts the wall.
6. Note any gaps between the surround and the wall.
Check for level. If necessary, adjust leveling brackets.
7. Slide the appliance from the opening and make
adjustments to the leveling brackets.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 until the appliance and surround
are ush and level, and cord is securely routed and
terminated to the receptacle.
Note: If the power supply is located outside the replace
or chase, the cord can be routed through the bottom cor-
ner of the surround to a nearby outlet.
