When the fireplace is installed over carpeting, vinyl tile
or any combustible material other than wood flooring, it
must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending
its full width and depth. Alternatively - the carpeting,
vinyl tile, etc., may be removed from beneath the
fireplace before installing.
Combustible materials must not be installed over or
touch the black front surface of the fireplace.

To ensure a safe installation, the following instructions
must be carefully observed.

the fireplace opening to any combustible wall should

be less than 36” from the top of the fireplace. (Fig.
6a)
3. Mantel and Wall Clearances:
a. Noncombustible materials must be used for all
wall coverings below the top standoffs of the

Installation
This list of specific instructions will help you make
certain that every installation operation is done
correctly. Complete the installation steps in the
sequence shown.
LOCAL BUILDING CODES SHOULD BE CONSULTED
IN ALL CASES AS TO THE PARTICULAR REQUIRE-
MENTS CONCERNING THE INSTALLATION OF
FACTORY BUILT VENT FREE FIREPLACES.
Select the location for the fireplace by taking into
consideration the factors previously outlined in the
Planning Ahead section of this manual.
Step 1: Framing the Firebox
The entire fireplace can be elevated above the floor to
achieve a raised hearth effect. This can be done by
adding a small platform to achieve the desired height.
STOP! THE OPTIONAL CANOPY MAY BE IN-
STALLED AT THIS TIME. LOOSEN THE SCREWS
LOCATED AT THE TOP FRONT OF THE FIRE-
PLACE. NEXT, SLIDE THE SLOTTED FLANGE OF
THE CANOPY UNDER THE LOOSENED SCREWS,
THEN RETIGHTEN THE SCREWS TO SECURE THE
CANOPY. (REFER TO PAGE 12, FIG. 9 FOR AT-
TACHMENT LOCATION)
A CANOPY IS NOT REQUIRED IF COMBUSTIBLE
MANTLES AND PROJECTIONS ABOVE THE FIRE-
PLACE OPENING MEET THE MINIMUM CLEAR-
ANCE REQUIREMENTS ILLUSTRATED IN FIGURE
6B.
Step 2: Install the Firebox
Install the firebox into the framed opening by setting it
directly in front of the opening and sliding it into the
proper position.
Step 3: Level the Firebox
Check the level of the firebox on the top edge of the
fireplace face. Shim if necessary.
Step 4: Secure the Firebox
Secure the fireplace to the framing. The nailing flanges
on the firebox will make securing the firebox to the
frame quick and easy. Use appropriate size nails or
screws to secure the firebox.
Step 5: Remove Front Screen Panel
To remove the screen panel, first open the control panel
door. Using a 1/4" nut driver, remove the two screws
that secure the screen panel to the front of the fire-
place, (Refer to Figure 7 for location). Carefully pull the
bottom of the screen panel out toward you, then pull the
panel down until the two pins at the top of the screen
panel clear the holes in the top of the fireplace. Re-
move the screen panel to a safe location.
Reverse the above operation to re-install the screen
panel.
