Considerations
WARNING: Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
FIRE HAZARD: Do NOT install this appliance directly on
carpeting, vinyl, or any other combustible material other than
wood.
• This appliance must be installed on a level surface capable
of supporting the fireplace and venting. If possible, place the
fireplace in a position where the vent terminates between two
studs, eliminating the need for any additional framing.
• This fireplace may be installed in a bedroom.
• Please be aware of the large amount of heat this fireplace will
produce when determining a location.
3.2 Top Stand-off Adjustment
WARNING: The top stand-offs provide the 3-1/2 in (89 mm)
minimum clearance to the header. Use only non-combustible
material in this area for the entire width of the fireplace. DO
NOT use wood, sheetrock, et cetera, in this zone.
The top stand-off is adjustable to accommodate non-combustible
finish material thickness.
1. Loosen screws located on top of the fireplace.
2. Slide top stand-off to desired position to accommodate finish
material.
3. Re-tighten screws.
