FRAMING & FINISHING
1. Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
Note: When constructing the framed opening, please ensure there is access to install the gas lines when the unit is installed.
2. For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the rest of the house; apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local installation codes.
(Do not insulate the fireplace itself.)
WARNING: Failure to insulate and add vapor barriers to the inside of the exterior wall will result in operational and performance problems including, but
not limited to: excessive condensation on glass doors, poor flame package, carbon, blue flames etc. These are not product related issues.
3. The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. You must maintain clearances from the vent to combustible materials: See "Clearances"
section. Combustible materials can be laid against the side and back standoffs and the stove base.
4. Tile Finish Option 1: Drywall may be installed only in areas as shown below to create a surface to apply finishing materials such as tile, slate, etc.
5. Tile Finish Option 2: If applying a non-combustible finishing material (tile,slate,etc) the material can be installed directly onto the metal surface (clean
front) of the unit in the area shown below.
