Installing with Top Vent
When you install your fireplace as in position ‘B’, ‘D’ or ‘E’, a minimum
of 6 inches (153mm) clearance must be maintained from the perpen-
dicular wall and the front of the appliance.
Framing Specifications
1. Cold climate installation recommendation: when installing this fireplace against non-insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recommend-
ed that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation codes. Drywall should be installed over insulation to prevent
contact of insulation and unit.
2. Choose fireplace location and frame in accordance with the fireplace dimensions specified (See framing diagrams). Bend nailing tabs
forward on left and right of unit and place fireplace into framed enclosure. This allows for 1/2” in front of framing tabs for finishing
materials.
3. Drywall or other material can extend flush with the appliance on the bottom and sides of the fireplace.
4. Non-combustible materials such as brick and tile can be extended across the face of the fireplace. If wide brass trim kit is going to be
installed, brick and tile will have to be installed flush with the front of this appliance. If slim line brass trim kit is used, brick or tile may
extend past the front of unit.
