Installation Instructions
Preparation
Confirm that the fireplace is level and
properly positioned, before finalizing the
installation.
1. Choose the location for the fireplace. Maintain
proper height and clearances.
2. Make sure framing is 16” (406 mm) o.c. for place-
ment of wall mount brackets pre-drilled holes. If
framing is not 16” o.c., the installer can drill new
holes in wall mounting brackets to align with existing
framing dimensions.
3. Make sure framing for firestop is correct.

Firestop is for combustible walls. Refer to firestop
framing instructions on Pages 6 and 14, Figures 3
and 17.

lation on Page 8.
5. Finish wall as desired.
Install the firestop in accordance with the
applicable instructions, if the wall is fin-
ished with combustible materials.
Mounting the Fireplace
Never place the fireplace on the floor or
on any hard surface with the bottom side
down, to avoid damaging the exposed
components.
1. The DVR28 comes with a wall mount bracket to
secure the fireplace to the wall. Standoffs on the
back of the bracket allow for proper clearances to
combustibles. (Fig. 5)
