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.
BUILT-IN FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
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. If installing a mantel above the
fireplace, you must follow the clearances shown in Figures 9 and
10. Follow the instructions below to install the fireplace in this
manner.
Frame in rough opening. Use dimensions show in Figure 3 for a
conventional rough opening. Use dimensions shown in Figure 4
for corner rough opening. Be sure to provide gas line for fireplace
and electrical power for optional blower assembly.
1. Gas line connections must be made at this time. When
facing the appliance, the gas supply will enter on the right-
hand side. See "Gas Supply" page 13.
2. Insert fireplace into enclosure.
3. Level firebox. See "Positioning, Leveling and Securing In
-
sert" on Page 8.
4. Finished wall surface will be flush to the leading edge of fire
-
place top and sides.
5. If used, the surround panel assembly is installed after the fire
-
place has been installed with all the gas and electrical connec-
tion completed. See Page 17. Refer to instructions included
with the surround panel kit.
6. Installation of built-in fireplace is completed.
