IMPORTANT! Assemble top spacers before installing fireplace.
Bend up each spacer as illustrated,
and secure with two provided screws.
LOCATION
Factors to consider when selecting a location
for the appliance include aes thetics, function,
vent system routing, and fuel supply access.
Locate the appliance in an area free of electri-
cal, plumbing, and HVAC ducting. See
Figure
7-2
for typical installation configurations.
CAUTION: Due to high temperatures, the
appliance should be located out of traffic
and away from furniture and draperies.
AVERTISSEMENT : En raison des tem-
pératures élevées, l’appareil devrait
être installé dans un endroit où il y a
peu de circulation et loin du mobilier
et des tentures.
The appliance may be located on or near con-
ventional construction materials
(see Note
under Step 4 on this page)
.
IMPORTANT!
Before installing the fireplace, the
nailing flanges MUST be adjusted
according to finish (cleanface or
surround) and wall finish material
thickness. This is critical to ensure
proper fireplace location, especially
if installing the optional Surround.

.
4.
Mount the fireplace on a fully supported
base extending the full width and depth of
the unit.
Note: If installing the appliance on
combustible material (such as car-
pet or vinyl tile), a metal or wood
barrier covering the entire bottom
surface MUST be used.
5.
Secure the fireplace to the side framing
members using the unit’s nailing flanges
per the instructions under “UNIT NAILING
FLANGES” on
Page 9
.
Use 8d nails or their
equivalent.
Note:
•
All framing details must allow for min-
imum clearances to combustibles as
shown in the “CLEARANCES” section
(previous page)
.
• Headers may be in direct contact with the
appliance top spacers when top spacers are
bent up vertically (maintaining the 4-3/8"
clearance to the fireplace top); however,
headers must NOT be supported by top
spacers or notched to fit around them.
• All construction above the appliance must
be self-supporting.
Do NOT use the appli-
ance for structural support.
