Framing and Finishing Inset Installations
1. Frame the enclosure for the unit with framing material.

• Failure to insulate and add vapor barriers to the in-
side 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.

• Combustible material may extend a minimum of 1/2" (13 mm) up
to a maximum of 5-1/4" (133 mm) from the front top (with larger
glass). See mantle clearance chart for details. The base and side
(with smaller glass) have no limit on how far the combustible
material extends from the appliance. Ensure that no material
encroaches anywhere in the area of the glass as defined by the
finishing lip surrounding the appliance.
NO
TE
• In all applications, while there is zero clearance to combustibles
to the unit, all clearances to combustibles from the venting inside
the chase still apply. Please see venting clearances in the specific
product manual.
NO
TE
• When constructing the framed opening, ensure there is access to
install the gas lines and electrical. Also, the wiring harness must
be wall mounted using the receptacle provided with the appliance.
The wiring harness is located on the right side of the appliance if
facing it 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 and apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local installation
codes. Do not insulate the fireplace itself.
3. One of the following methods must be used to prevent heat from escaping
into the cavity of the enclosure:
a. If choosing drywall, joints MUST be sealed using drywall tape and mud.
b. Insulation, plywood, wood studs, etc. must be installed tightly with no
gaps or seams.
This appliance was designed with hot air escaping through the chase en-
closure ventilation grills only. If hot air is trapped as a result of it escaping
through joints, crevasses, open studs, or other openings within the enclosure,
this will change the clearances within the enclosure, causing it to overheat.
It is vital that all the hot air exits through the ventilation openings only. Using
the optional HeatWave kit does not reduce the size of the ventilation grill,
which must be a minimum of 120 square inches (flush installation) or 180
square inches (bench Installation), regardless.
4. Combustible material (drywall,wood,wood panels, etc.) may be brought up
to the appliance (top, bottom, and sides)
5. Ensure that the material used does not encroach anywhere in the area of
the glass. This causes dangerous operating conditions.
6. This appliance comes with a 1/2" (13 mm) lip at the top, sides, and bot-
tom to hide the ends of the drywall. The 1/2" (13 mm) side and bottom
lip supplied with the appliance can be replaced (see Diagram 1) 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. Six screws secure the bottom lip — see Diagram 1. These are
hidden - the outer panels will need to be removed to access them. See
outer panel removal instructions in this manual.
7. This appliance can also be recessed (using combustible materials) with a
hearth in front that can extend to the top. See manual for details.
