Framing and Finishing Inset Installations
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 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.

IMPORTANT:
Exterior wall/Alcove enclosure:
When installing into an exterior cavity
or alcove enclosure (ceiling, back and sides), regardless of where appli-
ance is placed within the home, requires the use of either drywall or other
means such as plywood, wood studs, etc. to prevent heat from escaping
anywhere above /though the enclosure other than the required grill/
ventilation openings.
Internal chase:
When installing as an internal chase framing installation,
regardless of where appliance is placed within the home, requires the use
of either drywall or other means such as plywood, on the rear wall of the
chase to eliminate heat escaping into the rear wall cavity. If the chase is
extended to the ceiling ,the ceiling will also need to be finished in a manner
to prevent heat escaping into floor joist/attic space.
One of the following methods must be used to prevent the heat from
escaping :
a. If choosing drywall, ensure that the drywall is butt up tight with no gaps.
b. Plywood, wood studs, etc. installed tightly with no gaps.
As this appliance has been designed with all hot air escaping through the
chase enclosure ventilation / grill openings only, if hot air is trapped as a
result of the hot air escaping through joints, crevasses, open studs, or other
openings within the enclosure above, this will change the clearances within
the enclosure causing the enclosure to overheat. It is vital that all the hot
air from within the enclosure exits through the ventilation openings only.
Ensure that the ventilation openings are made as such to prevent debris,
objects from falling into the enclosure.
4. Combustible material (drywall,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 1/2" lip at top and bottom to hide the ends of
the drywall. The 1/2" 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. 6 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.
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
manual for details.
Note :
Combustible material may extend a minimum of 1/2" and 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 regarding how far the combustible material may extend from
the appliance. Ensure that no material encroaches anywhere in the area
of the glass as it is defined by the finishing lip surrounding the appliance.
