Clean Face Option
(See diagram on page 14)
The clean face option allows the elimination of the air inlet louver that is located directly below the doors in the unit
face. Dual 8” flexible ducts are connected to the front side of the fireplace in the pre cut holes. The flexible duct
may run up to 6’ down or to the side of the fireplace. This duct should never run upward. Use part #CFK, which
includes all the parts necessary for this installation. This duct may be run down to the ceiling of a lower area to
enhance circulation of air within the home. When creating a clean face installation, the dual top vent (part #TVK)
must also be ordered to complete the installation. The minimum interior chase framing should be 66” wide if the
flexible ducting is routed within the chase. A blower is available to boost air circulation with the clean face option.
It is a variable speed, 210 CFM, 8” round, inline blower. This blower should be located directly behind the inlet vent
housing and attached to the flexible plastic duct. Make sure this blower is accessible for service in your installation.
Facing
Combustible material may be installed flush to the exterior sides of the fireplace face leaving a 3/8” gap. It may
not project in front of or over the steel fireplace face. A 4” piece of Micore, which is provided, must cover the area
directly above the top of the unit to the header.
Non-combustible materials may be placed across the face of the fireplace such as brick, stone or tile. Facing kits are
available from your dealer to attach manufactured stone or brick to the face of the fireplace. See your dealer for the
appropriate one.
To use a manufactured facing product, attach one of the facing kits to the framing structure surrounding the
fireplace. Do not securely attach this to the fireplace face as cracking of the mortar may occur due to thermal
expansion of the steel during operation. Self-tapping metal screws may be used to attach the facing kit in several
areas of the steel front taking care not to tighten the screws.
