Note: Your Comfort Glow fireplace is de- signed to be used in zero clearance installa- tions. Wall or framing material can be placed directly against any exterior surface on the rear, sides, or top of your fireplace, except where standoff spacers are integrally at- tached. If standoff spacers are attached to your fireplace, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing materials.
