In planning the installation for the fireplace, determine where the
unit is to be installed and whether optional accessories are desired.
Gas supply piping should also be planned at this time.
The fireplace can be mounted on any of these surfaces:
1. A flat hard combustible or non-combustible surface.
2. A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible material.
3. Four corners of the fireplace so contact is made on all four
perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.
If the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood flooring, it should be installed
on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the
unit.
This unit is designed to be installed in a zero-clearance enclosure.
This means the combustible material can come in contact with the
top and side standoff spacers, and secured to combustible framing
using the framing brackets provided.
Built-In Fireplace Installation
Built-in installation of this fireplace involves installing the
fireplace into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of the
fireplace flush with a wall.
Frame in rough opening. Use dimensions shown in Figure 4 for a
conventional rough opening. Use dimensions shown in Figure 5
for corner rough opening. Use Figure 5 for an elevated installation.
Be sure to provide support to the bottom of the fireplace. Be sure
to provide gas line for fireplace and electrical power for optional
light assembly. Refer to Junction Box Wiring section on pages 39
and 40 for details on electrical requirements.
1. Gas line connections must be made at this time. When
facing the appliance, the gas supply will enter on the left-hand
side. See "Gas Supply" page 12 to 13.
2. Insert fireplace into enclosure.
3. Level firebox.
4. Secure six framing brackets with drywall screws to the framed
opening above the fireplace as shown in figures 4, 6 and 12.
These brackets should be installed flush with the framing, and
are used to support the ends of the non-combustible board to
the framing brackets. Note: The framing brackets and drywall
screws are located in the instruction envelope packet.
5a. To install the fireplace cabinet face flush with the wall-board,
secure the framing brackets at the top and sides of the fire
-
place with a 1/2" setback. This allows you to use the supplied
non-combustible board above the fireplace. Note: This type of
installation will allow you to apply tile, marble, stone or other
non-combustible material over the face of the fireplace cabi
-
net, up to the flange opening. See Figures 12 and 13.
5b. To install the fireplace so that non-combustible board is in
-
stalled over the fireplace cabinet face (up to the opening
flanges), secure the top and side framing brackets flush with
the face of the fireplace cabinet. Note: With this option ad
-
ditional non-combustible materials will be needed to extend
over the face of the fireplace cabinet, up to the flanged open

ing.
6. If used, the surround panel assembly is installed after the fire
-
place has been installed with all the gas and electrical con-
nections completed. Refer to instructions included with the
surround panel kit.
7. Installation of built-in fireplace is completed.
