Note: When installing fireplace directly on
carpeting, tile or other combustible material,
other than wood flooring, the fireplace shall be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending
the full width and depth of the fireplace.
Use the dimensions shown for rough openings
to create the easiest installation (see
Built-In
Fireplace Installation

propane/LP. Gas type is indi
-
cated on the rating plate. Field

propane gases.
