SEE-THROUGH Installation Procedure

FRAMING

FACING

Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insula- tion or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.

It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local building codes. FIGURE 15.

See PAGE 8 for bar type / countertop installation.

Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front of the fireplace but must not cover any of the black face- areas of the fireplace. Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.

It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fireplace system.

When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac- commodate for the thickness of the finished floor materi- als, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and the installation of many decorative flashing accesso-

ries.

Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a minimum of 48" away from the glass front faces of the fireplace.

FINISHING

Refer to pages 13-15 for complete instructions regarding mantle requirements and installations, log placement, glass door and upper and lower louvre attachments.
