FINISHING THE ENCLOSURE
The
H Series
Vent Free Gas Fireplace is designed to be enclosed with common building materials; wood,
drywall, plaster, etc.
•
All materials must be installed within the limits shown previously.
•
The facing flanges on these fireplaces are designed for use with 1/2” thick material.
•
The wall above the fireplace opening is constantly exposed to elevated temperatures. This must be
considered when choosing any fasteners, paint, mastic, sealant, caulk, etc., for use in this area as
materials may change color or emit an odor when heated. Petroleum-based tile adhesives should be
avoided and thin-set mortar used instead.
•
Facing material should be installed against the outer face of the fireplace, with an 1/8” vertical or
horizontal clearance
to the flange
to allow for heat expansion.
INSTALLING THE FIRE MEDIA
Two types of fire media are available for your
H Series
Vent Free Gas Fireplace; Fireglass or Carrara Pebbles.
The Fire Media
The entire contents of the bag of fire media should be spread to an even depth across the entire burner top.
Be certain that media does not come within 1/4” of the pilot burner. Media dust should not be emptied on burner
top as it may clog the gas ports.
The fire media must be installed per these instructions. This heater must use only the fire media provided
by European Home. An excess amount of fire media may adversely affect the performance of the heater.
WARNING: All previously applied loose material must be removed prior to reapplication.
