• Your fireplace is designed to be used in zero clearance installations.
Wall or framing material can be placed directly against any exterior
surface on the back, sides or top of your fireplace, except when
clearances are required from flue vent pipe, see Clearances.
• If recessed into a wall, you can avoid extra framing by positioning
your fireplace against an already existing framing member.
• A hearth extension is not required with this appliance. If one is
installed, it is for aesthetic purposes only and does not have to
meet standard requirements for hearth extensions.
• If you plan on installing a television or entertainment center recessed
above your fireplace, it is recommended that you maintain a mini-
mum 18" (45.7 cm) above the top of louver opening.
• When locating the termination cap, it is important to observe the
minimum vent height and clearances required under code, see
Venting Installation Instructions, page 8.
• Do not recess termination cap into a wall or siding.
• You may paint the termination cap with 450° F (232° C) heat
resistant paint to coordinate with the exterior finish.
