Combustible materials (sheetrock, framing) may be used up to the
edges of both faces. Non-combustible facing (brick, tile, etc.)
may be applied onto the Andover face to the edge of the doors
to create an arched fireplace look.

Electrical wiring (120 Volts) feeds through the left side panel near the floor. Wiring connects to a duplex outlet inside the convection chamber under the firebox.
