FINISHING THE ENCLOSURE
The
H Series
Vent Free Gas Fireplace is designed to be enclosed with common building materials; wood,
drywall, plaster, etc.
•
Any combustible mantels must be installed within the limits.
•
Provided the required clearances are maintained, the walls that enclose the sides of the fireplace may
be constructed of combustible material.
The facing within the limits must be made of non-combustible
material.
•
The facing flanges on these fireplaces are designed for use with 1/2” thick facing. Non-combustible facing
must be used as shown previously.
•
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.
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.
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 parts.
