Attention: When fireplace is installed in optional full cabinet mantel or corner mantel the (4) four nailing flanges shown in Figure 11 will not be installed on the side of outer casing. The DVS will be attached to the full cabinet mantel or corner mantel with the

(2)two nailing flanges located on the top of the outer casing assembly.

Framing (Figure 12)

Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering and fireplace facing material. The fireplace framing should constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The framing headers may rest on the fireplace standoffs. Refer to Figure 12 for framing

WARNING: When finishing the fireplace never obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet louvers in any manner. Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the combustion chamber.

Caution: If the joints between the finished wall and the fireplace surround (top and sides) are sealed, a 300° F mini- mum sealant material must be used. These joints are not required to be sealed. Only non-combustible material (using 300° F minimum adhesive if needed), can be applied as facing to the fireplace surround.

reference dimensions.

CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND VERIFY FRAMING METHODS, AND WALL COVERING DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING CONSTRUCTION BEGINS.

Framing dimension A includes a three inch clearance for standoffs on firebox. After installing firebox into framing, the finished wall surface must cover the three inch opening above the firebox.

Attention: If a base or mantel is not used and the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, it shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance. The vertical dimension in Figure 12 must be adjusted when a metal or wood panel is placed beneath the appliance.

Finishing (Figure 13)

Finish the walls with the material of your choice. Figure 6 shows the minimum vertical and corresponding maximum horizontal dimensions of mantels or other combustible projections above the top front edge of the fireplace.

Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the black fireplace front.

Attention:

Cold climate installation recommendation: When installing this unit against a non-insulated exterior wall, it is mandatory that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation codes.

Vent Runs (Figures 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18)

In planning the installation for the fireplace, it is necessary to install certain components before the appliance is completely positioned and installed. These include the direct vent system, gas piping for the appliance and the electrical wiring. (If the fan option is used.)

The appliance can be mounted on any of the following surfaces:

1.A flat, hard combustible (burnable) surface.

2.A raised wooden platform.

3.Four (4) corner supports. (Example: Four (4) concrete masonry blocks.) These supports must be positioned so they contact all four (4) perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.

Three (3) basic types of installations

1.Straight out (4" - 8" wall thickness).

2.Extended straight out (8" - 36" wall thickness).

3.Vertical installations.
