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 and/or the flueing. Clear-
ances must be maintained as per this manual.)
1. Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
Ensure front of facing material is
flush with the edge of the flange on

ARNING
• 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.
3. The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. You must
maintain clearances from the flue to combustible materials: See "Clear-
ances" section. Combustible materials can be laid against the side and
back standoffs and the appliance base.
4. Non-combustible material (ie. tile, slate, etc) may be brought up to and
overlap the unit (top and bottom) ensuring that the maximum thickness does
not go beyond the 38mm as shown in the diagram below. The faceplate
will not be able to be mounted if finished material is beyond 38mm.
