Town & Country Fireplaces TC36.CARE3 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual Download Page 7

The top standoffs are shipped loose inside
the fireplace and must be installed on top
of the fireplace as shown in Fig #6. Do this
once the fireplace is on site and in position.

In planning the installation for the fireplace, it is necessary to determine where the unit is to
be installed, location of vent system and where gas supply piping may be plumbed. Various
installations are possible, such as, into an existing wall, a corner, a built-in wall or a wall
projection (Fig #7). Due to high temperatures, do not locate this fireplace in areas of high
traffic or near furniture or draperies.

The minimum clearances from the fireplace to combustible surfaces must be adhered
to and are shown in Fig #2 and Fig #3.
