RECESSED INSTALLATION

· Due to many different finish materials used on walls, it is highly recommended that you consult · a professional before you install this fireplace in the wall. · Select a location that is not prone to moisture and is located at least 36" away from materials · such as curtains, drapes, furniture or bedding. · In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapor barrier coming in contact with the · fireplace, it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be "finished" (ie. Sheetrock, · drywall, etc) as you would finish any other outside wall of your home. This will ensure that clearance · to combustibles is maintained within the wall cavity. · Never install fireplace into load-bearing walls. When recessing fireplace in a wall, recess into · non-load bearing walls ONLY!

Instructions:
1. Choose a location in the wall to install fireplace.
2. Create opening in the wall that is no more than 1 /4" 2. larger than metal firebox portion of fireplace. The rough 2. opening dimensions for the wall opening is listed in the 2. table on the right.
