Finishing the Fireplace

There are a wide variety of finishing materials avail- able for your fireplace from formal wall treatments with marble and mantels to rustic wood paneling, stone or brick.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE BLACK FACE OF THE FIREPLACE NOT BE COVERED WITH ANY TYPE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.

Noncombustible facing materials such as marble, brick or ceramic tile may overlap the black face of the fire- place up to the opening on either side of the fireplace. Seal all joints between the black fireplace face and the wall covering with a heat-resistant material such as rock wool insulation or mortar. Be sure to use high tempera- ture adhesive or mortar when anchoring brick, stone or tile to the face of the fireplace. Check to see whether man-made brick and stone are made of noncombustible materials before using them on the face of the fireplace. Some of these products contain combustible materials. Combustible wall coverings such as paneling or wall- board may not overlap the black face of the fireplace. The space between the wall covering and the fireplace should be sealed with a heat-resistant material such as rock wool insulation or mortar.

NOTE: An “L” shaped steel lintel must be installed across the top of the firebox opening where facing materials such as brick or stone are used on the face of the firebox. It acts as a support/firestop. It should be attached to the face of the fireplace with screws and sealed to the fireplace with a heat-resistant sealer.

WARNING: The firebox screens must be in place be- fore operating the fireplace.

WARNING: These vent free fireplaces are not to be used with glass doors.

Pre-Wiring of Junction Box

Wiring should be connected at the junction box located on the right side of the firebox prior to the installation of the blower kit. A standard wall box should be used to contain the SCVS - Variable Speed Control Kit.

Electrical Services

If an electrical supply of 120V is being roughed in to the fireplace junction box to provide for future installation of optional blower kit, the wiring should be connected to the junction box located on the right side of the firebox.

NOTE: All electric connections are to be made in ac- cordance with CSA Standard C22.1-Canadian Electrical Code part 1 or with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70 (latest edition) and/or in accordance with local codes.

CAUTION: Should this blower require servicing, the power supply must be disconnected.
