This fireplace is manufactured with a built-in heat distribution kit, referred to as the Cool Surface System
(CSS). The purpose of the CSS is to dramatically reduce the front wall temperatures above your fireplace.
This is very useful when delicate objects such as a TV or artwork are mounted above the unit. Using
this feature will also allow you to use combustible facing materials right up to the finishing edge. It is
extremely important these instructions are followed meticulously. If not installed correctly this could be
very dangerous and could lead to building fire. If the CSS is activated it is crucial that the chase is vented
in accordance to this manual. There are a few different options available to finish the CSS.

Framing Option 1: Front Discharge (flush wall installations) -
Construct the framing in a way
that provides a minimum 48 inch (1219mm) by 3 inch (76mm) gap at the top of the facing wall. It is
essential that these dimensions are respected and not to deviate away from them when using combustible
materials inside the chase (see Figure 48).
Note: If you wish to construct the CSS air discharge part way up a tall wall then it is essential to build a
false ceiling inside the chase at the desired height to direct the rising heat out of the gap.
