Do not fill spaces around firebox with
insulation or other materials. This could
cause a fire.
FIREBOX FRAMING
Firebox framing can be built before or after the appliance
is set in place. Refer to
Figure 2
for fireplace and framing
dimensions. Construct firebox framing following
Figure 2
for your specific installation requirements. The framing
headers may rest on the top of the firebox standoffs. Do
not bring headers below top of standoffs.
The firebox may be installed directly on a combustible floor
or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. When
the firebox is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other
combustible material, other than wood flooring, the firebox
shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the enclosure.
PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION
FIREPLACE LOCATION
Plan for the installation of your appliance. This
includes
determining where the unit is to be installed, the vent con-
figuration to be used, framing and finishing details, and
whether any optional accessories (i.e. blower, wall switch,
or remote control) are desired. Consult your local building
code agency to ensure compliance with local codes, includ-
ing permits and inspections.
The following factors should be taken into consideration:
• Clearance to side-wall, ceiling, woodwork, and win-
dows. Minimum clearances to combustibles
must be
maintained.
• This fireplace may be installed along a wall, across a
corner, or use an exterior chase. Refer to
Figure 3
for
suggested locations.
• Location should be out of high traffic areas and away
from furniture and draperies due to heat from appli-
ance.
• Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.
• Do
not
install in the vicinity where gasoline or other
flammable liquids may be stored.
• Vent pipe routing. Refer to
Venting
section found in
this manual for allowable venting configurations.
• These units can be installed in a bedroom. See Na-
tional Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1/NFPA 54 — (cur-
rent edition), the Uniform Mechanical Code — (current
edition), and Local Building Codes for specific installa-
tion requirements.

NOTE
COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
If you live in a cold climate, seal all cracks
around your appliance, and wherever cold air
could enter the room, with noncombustible
material. It is especially important to insulate
the outside chase cavity between the studs
and under the floor on which the appliance
rests, if the floor is above ground level.
NOTE:
Refer to cold climate pilot information on Page 39
for more information on standing pilot vs. intermittent pilot
options.
