V. STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION OF

THE FIREPLACE SYSTEM

WARNING!

BEFORE STARTING, DO THE FOLLOWING:

1.WEAR GLOVES AND SAFETY GLASSES FOR PROTECTION.

2.KEEP HAND TOOLS IN GOOD CONDITION. SHARPEN CUTTING EDGES AND MAKE SURE TOOL HANDLES ARE SECURE.

3.ALWAYS MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM AIR SPACE REQUIRED TO THE ENCLOSURE TO PREVENT FIRE.

STEP 1 - Positioning the Firebox

This fireplace may be placed on a smooth combustible or non- combustible continuous, flat surface. When the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appli- ance. Slide the unit into position and level the fireplace from side- to-side and front-to-back. Shim with non-combustible material, such as sheet metal, as necessary.

Secure the fireplace by bending out the nailing flanges located on each side of the fireplace and nailing the unit to the framing. See Figure 4.

Nailing Flanges

Two types of termination are available for this appliance, horizon- tal and vertical. For vertical termination, skip section A and advance to section B on page 11.

A. Horizontal Termination

Minimum combustible clearances to the vent on a horizontal run is 3" on top and 1" on the bottom and sides. These clearances must be maintained at all times. The maximum horizontal run allowed for venting is 26 feet. The maximum vertical rise allowed for horizontal termination is 25 feet. See Figure 5.

1.Assembling vent sections. Attach either a VE12 (starter elbow), VE16, VE20 or straight vent section (depending upon your specific installation) to the top of the appliance. Secure with the three screws supplied. Use only vent supplied and listed for use with this appliance and the appropriate number of direct vent sections. MAINTAIN MINIMUM CLEARANCES OR GREATER AROUND THE VENT SYSTEM. Do not pack air spaces with insulation or other material.

a.Using elbows. The first elbow used with horizontal termi- nation must be starter elbow 15942. The maximum horizontal distance this vent system may reach is 26'.No more than 3 elbows may be used. A single vertical-to-horizontal elbow is already calculated into the allowable 26' run. Each additional elbow reduces the maximum horizontal distance by three feet. Example, by using three total elbows, the maximum horizontal distance has been reduced to twenty feet (3 - 1 = 2 elbows X 3'

=6'; 26' max. - 6' of elbows = 20' of horizontal run).

Figure 5 - Horizontal Length

Note: The horizontal run of vent must have a 1/4" rise for every 1 ft. of run towards the ter- mination. Never allow the vent to run down- ward. This could cause high temperatures and may present the possibility of a fire.
