installation
1. Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
Note:
When constructing the framed opening ensure there is access to
install the gas lines,electrical. Also the wiring harness must be wall mounted
using the receptacle provided with the appliance. The wiring harness will
be located on the right hand side of the appliance if facing the unit from the
front. This must be done prior to any finishing.
2. For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the rest of
the house, apply vapour barrier and plasterboard, 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.
Note that in all applications while there is a zero clearance to combustibles
to the unit, all clearances to combustibles from the flueing inside the chase
still applies. Please see flueing clearances in the specific product manual.
3. To ensure the chase is sealed from the outside wall into the room, all
joints on the facing wall
MUST
be sealed, mudded, and taped to finish.
Note that in all applications while there is a zero clearance to combustibles
to the unit, all clearances to combustibles from the flueing inside the chase
still applies. Please see flueing clearances in the specific product manual.
4. Combustible material (plasterboard,wood,wood panels, etc.) may be
brought up to this appliance (top,bottom and sides)
5. Ensure that the material being used does not encroach anywhere in the
area of the glass. This would cause dangerous operating conditions.
6. This appliance comes with a 13mm lip at top, sides and bottom to hide the
ends of the plasterboard. The 13mm side and bottom, front and bottom side
lips supplied with the appliance can alternatively be removed and replaced
with J Style Trim or Metal Corner Bead purchased at your local hardware
store to cover cut/exposed edges of the combustible facing material or
any other finishing materials being used. Six (6) screws secure the bot-
tom front lip. Two (2) secure the bottom side lips and 2 secure each side
if deciding to remove these. These will be hidden so the outer panels (if
installed) will need to be removed to access the screws. See outer panel
removal in this manual.
7. This appliance can also be recessed (using combustible materials) with
a hearth in front of the appliance. This can also extend to the top. See
below for details.
