Finishing

CAUTION: All joints between the finished wall and the appliance surround (top and

the appliance surround (the black painted face).

When finishing the appliance, never obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles in any manner.

NOTE:Finish the wall with the material of

your choice. Refer to Figures 2a and 2b for specific clearances when installing a combustible mantel or other combustible projection.

Locating your Electric Fireplace

Your new fireplace may be installed into an existing masonry or zero-clearance fireplace. It may also be in- stalled using a prefabricated cabinet available from your dealer, or be built into a wall.

When choosing a location for your new fireplace, en- sure that the general instructions are followed. Also, for best effect, install the fireplace out of direct sunlight.

Hearth

A hearth is not mandatory; however, for aesthetic pur- poses, we recommend use of a noncombustible hearth that does not obstruct the air openings.

Cold Climate Installation: To conform to applicable insulation codes, it is manda- tory the outer walls be insulated when installing this unit against a non-insulated exterior wall or chase.

Cabinet Installations

Cabinets are available from your dealer which allow fast, convenient installation of your fireplace against existing walls.
