**Combustible material
**Combustible material
Do not place any materials
where glass is located
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.
4. Combustible material (plasterboard,wood, wood panels, etc.) may be brought
up to the 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 and bottom to hide the ends of
the plasterboard. The 13mm side and bottom lip supplied with the appliance
can alternatively be removed (see Diagram 1) 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. 4 screws secure the bottom lip — see Diagram 1.
These will be hidden so the outer panels will need to be removed to access
the screws. See outer panel removal in this manual.
