E38-PV Gas Fireplace
Part No. XM0500
Installing The Fireplace Shell
The fireplace may be installed in any location that is free of air
conditioning ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing. Safety, as well as
efficiency of operation, must be considered when selecting the
fireplace location. Try to select a location that does not interfere with
room traffic, has adequate ventilation, and offers an accessible
pathway for vent installation. Refer to page 4 -
Vent Installation
for
more information.
The fireplace dimensions are shown below:
Installation
When installing a shelf over the top of the fireplace, the the minimum
clearance from the top of the fireplace to a shelf is 1". (
0" clearance
may be maintained around the vent pipes.
)

Fireplace dimensions.
Unprotected combustible walls which are perpendicular to the
fireplace opening, must not project beyond the shaded area shown in
Figure 19b.
For protection against freezing temperatures, it is recommended that
outer walls of the chase be insulated with a vapour barrier. This will
reduce the possibility of a cold-air convection current on the fireplace.
