Mantel Clearances for Built-In Installation

If placing custom mantel above built-in firebox, you must meet the minimum allowable clearance between mantel shelf and top of firebox opening shown in Figure 5. These are the minimum allow- able mantel clearances for a safe installation. Use larger clearances wherever possible to minimize the heating of objects and materials placed on the mantel.

CAUTION: Do not allow the vent-free gas log heater to touch or extend beyond the fireplace screen.

NOTICE: Surface temperatures of adjacent walls and mantels become hot during operation. Walls and mantels above the firebox may become hot to the touch. If installed properly, these temperatures meet the requirement of the national product standard. Follow all minimum clearances shown in this manual.

NOTICE: If your installation does not meet the minimum clearances shown, you must do one of the following:

•raise the mantel to an acceptable height

•remove the mantel

Built-in installation of this firebox involves installing firebox into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of firebox flush with wall. If installing a mantel above the firebox, you must follow the clearances shown in Figure 5. Follow these instructions to install the firebox in this manner.

1.Frame in rough opening. The firebox framing should be con- structed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. Use dimensions and rough opening layout in Figure 6a. Adjust framing so that firebox flushes with finished wall surface. If installing in a corner, use dimensions in Figures 6b for rough opening.

2.Install gas piping to firebox location. See Installing Gas Line on page 11 and Connecting to Gas Supply in log set owner’s manual.

3.Carefully set firebox in front of rough opening with back of firebox inside wall opening.

4.Carefully insert firebox into rough opening.

5.Attach firebox to wall studs using nails or wood screws through holes in nailing flange (see Figure 7, page 10).

6.Install and properly test gas log heater. Follow installation in- structions included with the vent-free gas log heater that is being installed.
