M38DV-PFC Peninsula Gas Fireplace
Installation
Installing The Fireplace Shell
The fireplace may be installed in any location that is free of air con-
ditioning ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing. Safety, as well as ef-
ficiency of operation, must be considered when selecting the fireplace
location. Try to select a location that does not interfere with room
traffic, has adequate ventilation, and offers an accessible pathway for
Direct Vent installation.
The fireplace dimensions are shown below:
Figure 1.
Fireplace dimensions.
Framing
Unprotected combustible walls which are perpendicular to the
fireplace opening, must not project beyond the shaded area shown in
Figure 19b.
For protection against freezing temperatures, it is recommended that
outer walls of the chase be insulated with a vapour barrier. This will
reduce the possibility of a cold-air convection current on the fireplace.

:
