NOTE: Two people are recommended for installation.
1. Follow the instructions in the section Preparing the
Firebox for Installation (page 10) before beginning.
2. Prepare a wall with a framed opening, following the
dimensions in the Framing section (page 11).
CAUTION: Ensure there is an air inlet with a path for
air flow to reach the underside of the unit.
3. Place the firebox into the framed opening. Ensure the
unit is level. A bubble level is included in the hardware
kit provided.
4. Secure the firebox to the frame using the previously
removed mounting brackets. The unit must be
secured to the frame with the mounting brackets.
!
NOTE: To avoid bulging of the finished surface, notch
the framing to allow the mounting brackets to be flush
with the framing. (Figure 7)
5. Connect the unit to the water supply, following the
instructions in the section Water Supply Connection
(page 13).
6. Locate the connector plate in the top right back
corner of the unit. Remove the connector plate by
