INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT
:
Vent-free fi replaces add mois-
ture to the air. Although this is benefi cial,
installing fi replace in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form from
too much moisture. See
Air for Combustion
and Ventilation,
Page 7
.
NOTE
: Your fi replace is designed to be used
in zero clearance installations. Wall or framing
material can be placed directly against any ex-
terior surface of your fi replace, except where
standoff spacers are integrally attached. If
standoff spacers are attached to your fi re-
place, these spacers can be placed directly
against wall or framing materials.
Use the dimensions shown for rough openings
to create the easiest installation
(see Built-In
Fireplace Installation,
