SEE-THROUGH Installation Procedure

VENTING

FACING

Refer to pages 6-13. All venting must have a minimum clear- ance of 2" to combustible material on the top and 1" to the sides and bottom.

FRAMING

See Page 18 for additional framing dimensions. NOTE: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insula- tion or vapor barrier coming in contact with the ﬁ replace body, it is recommended that the walls of the ﬁ replace enclosure be “ﬁ nished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would ﬁ nish 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 build- ing codes.

See PAGE 14 for bar type / counter top installation.

FIGURE 24

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

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

When roughing in the ﬁ replace, raise the ﬁ replace to accom- modate for the thickness of the ﬁ nished ﬂ oor materials, 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 ﬂ ashing accessories.

Objects placed in front of the ﬁ replace should be kept a mini- mum of 48" away from the glass front faces.

FINISHING

Refer to pages 23-26 for complete instructions regarding mantel requirements and installations, log placement, glass door and upper and lower louvre attachments.
