In planning the installation for the fireplace, it is necessary to
determine where the unit is to be installed and whether optional
accessories are desired. Gas supply piping should also be planned
at this time.
The fireplace can be mounted on any of these surfaces:
1. A flat hard combustible or non-combustible surface.
2. A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible material.
3. Four (4) corners of the fireplace so contact is made on all four
perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.
(Example: Four (4) concrete masonry blocks.)
If the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood flooring, it should be installed
on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the
unit.
At this point, you should have decided what components to include
in your installation, and where the fireplace is to be located. If this
has not been done, stop and consult your dealer for assistance
with this planning.
This unit is designed to be installed in a zero-clearance enclosure.
This means the combustible material can come in contact with the
firebox.
Built-In Fireplace Installation
Built-in installation of this fireplace involves installing the
fireplace into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of the
fireplace flush with a wall.
Frame in rough opening. Use dimensions show in Figure 3 for a

Be sure to provided support to the bottom of the fireplace. Be sure
to provide gas line for fireplace and electrical power for optional
blower assembly.
