There are several installation safety guidelines that must be adhered to. Please carefully read the safety
precautions at the front of this manual.

The location for the fireplace can be
along a wall, raised or at floor level, or
in a corner. There are specific framing
measurements for each situation.
The basic opening should have the
dimensions shown in Figure 16.
The fireplace must have a strong and
level surface to be placed on. The
surface should be made of wood or a
non-combustible material, not carpet.
The framing boards may touch the
top and back standoffs, but only the
supplied insulating material can
be placed between the frame and
the standoffs. A horizontal steel stud
may be used at the height shown to
support the bottom edge of the non-
combustible material (see page 22).
The gas line, ⅜ inch NPT, should be
Brought to the left side of the fireplace.
The location should be chosen so the
fireplace will be at least 36 inches (91.4
cm) from drapes, doors and other
combustibles. The framed opening must
be a minimum of 3 11/16” inches (9.4
cm) from the nearest perpendicular wall
(sidewall to the edge of the opening).
