FRAMING & FINISHING
Note: When constructing the framed opening, please ensure
there is access to install the gas lines when the unit is
installed.
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. Clearances must be maintained as per this manual.)
WARNING: Failure to insulate and add vapor barriers to the
inside of the exterior wall will result in operational and per-
formance 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 vent to combustible materials:
See "Clearances" section. Combustible materials can be laid
against the side and back standoffs and the stove 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.
1)
Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
IMPORTANT: The framed opening must be of non-combustible
material.
5)
If material such as brick, stone, etc extends past the faceplate depth 38mm,
when finishing around the faceplate, the minimum opening dimensions
noted below must be adhered to ensuring for the removal of the faceplate
and for the safe operation of this appliance.
