IMPORTANT:
When finishing your firebox, combustible materials such
as wall board, gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood, etc. may
be butted up next to the sides and top of the firebox. Combustible
materials should never overlap the firebox front facing.
WARNING: Do not allow any combustible materials
to overlap the firebox front facing.
IMPORTANT:
Noncombustible materials such as brick, tile, etc.
may overlap the front facing, but should never cover any necessary
openings.
WARNING: Do not allow noncombustible materials
to cover any necessary openings.
WARNING: Use only noncombustible mortar or
adhesives when overlapping the front facing with
noncombustible facing material.
INSTALLING FIREBOX USING OPTIONAL CUSTOM
BUILT MANTELS
WARNING: A qualified service person must install
firebox. Follow all local codes.
This firebox may be installed using a cabinet mantel against a wall in
your home. The firebox and cabinet mantel can be installed directly
on the floor. Mantels may be available from your retailer or custom
built for your home.
1. Assemble cabinet mantel as instructed.
2. Install gas piping to firebox location. See Gas Line Installation on
page 14. You may have to cut an access hole in the floor or wall to
run gas line to firebox. Make sure to locate access hole so cabinet
mantel will cover it when installed (see Figure 11).
3. Place firebox on floor in desired location. Make sure mantel will
be flush against wall when installed.
4. Carefully slide cabinet mantel over firebox. Be careful not to
scratch firebox, cabinet mantel, flooring, etc., when installing
(see Figure 12).
5. Install and properly test gas log heater. Follow installation in-
structions included with the vent-free gas log heater that is being
installed.
