The  fireplace  must  be  installed 

off  the  floor  to  account  for  the 
height  of  the  hearth.  The  total 
height that the unit must sit at is 
the height of the hearth

 approxi-

mately 2”

 from the finished floor 

to  the  base  of  the  fireplace. 
Check  the  height  of  your  hearth, 
and  raise  the  unit  by  this         
dimension.  

The  fireplace  front  must  not  be 

installed  flush  with  the  wall,  as 
there  will  not  be  enough              
adjustment  in  the  front  to  bring  it 
flush  with  the  back  of  the          
mantel.  The  fireplace  should  be  
installed  so  that  the  face  of  the 

Ventana  is  2  1/4”  from  the          

finished wall. This measurement is 
quite  critical  to  insure  a  good  fit 
against  the  back  of  the  slips.  Do  a 
dry  fit  of  one  leg  and  a  slip  in     
position to check that you have the 
engine  correctly located.  

 
Note: If the  unit is  being  installed where  there  is no room  for the  fireplace  to  be 

recessed  into  the  wall  then  wall  must  be  framed  out,  and  a  chase  built.  When      
framing  out  the  wall  don't  forget  to  consider  the  impact  of  the  taped  drywall        

corners.  We  suggest that  you  add  an  extra  3” for  each  side  for a  total  of  6” to the 

widest part of the mantle (the hearth- not the shelf).
