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.

NOTE: Wiring entry is located on the right side at
the bottom of the rebox. Plan the framing to allow
routing of the power cable to this location.
2. If a trimless installation is desired, remove the
factory trim by removing the screws that secure it.
3. Ensuring a minimum of 18" (47 cm) of slack, route
the supply power wire through a cable clamp (not
included) and in the opening in the back of the unit.

4. Lift the rebox into the opening in the frame using the
handles on the back of the replace.
5. Using a bubble level (supplied) ensure that the
replace is level within the framing. Adjust as required.
