Attention: Cold climate installation recommendation: When
installing this unit against a non-insulated exterior wall, it is
recommended that the outer walls be insulated to conform
to applicable insulation codes.
Vent Runs
In planning the installation for the fireplace, it is necessary to install
certain components before the appliance is completely positioned
and installed. These include the direct vent system, gas piping for the
appliance and the electrical wiring. (If the fan option is used.)
In addition to non-combustible surfaces, the appliance can be
mounted on any of the following surface options:
1. A flat, hard combustible (burnable) surface.
2. A raised wooden platform.
3. Four (4) corner supports. (Example: Four (4) concrete masonry
blocks.) These supports must be positioned so they contact all
four (4) perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.
