INSTALLATION

CAUTION: This fireplace cre- ates warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall sur- faces next to fireplace. Installing fireplace next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating fireplace where impurities (such as, but not limited to, tobacco smoke, aromatic candles, clean- ing fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls or cause odors.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free fireplaces add moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing fire- place in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, page 6.

Note: When installing fireplace directly on carpet- ing, tile or other combustible material, other than wood flooring, the fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace.

BUILT-IN FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Built-in installation of this fireplace involves installing fireplace into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of fireplace flush with wall. An optional brass trim kit accessory is available (see Accessories, page 30). Brass trim will extend past sides of fireplace approximately 1/2 inch. This will cover the rough edges of the wall opening. If installing a built-in mantel above the fireplace, you must follow the clearances shown in Figure 12, page 12. Follow the instructions below to install the fireplace in this manner. Note: Your Comfort Glow fireplace is designed to be used in zero clear- ance installations. Wall or framing material can be placed directly against any exterior surface on the rear, sides, or top of your fireplace.
