These optional panels can be used to extend the Classic or Lattice surround panels to cover oversize fireplace openings up to a maximum 47” Wide x 33 1/2” High. The actual wide surround dimensions are 48” Wide x 34” High.
NOTE: The additional weight of the Wide Surround may necessitate use of the Anchor Bracket which is included with this fireplace. The anchor will ensure that the surround assembly aligns properly against the fireplace face. Use the installation instructions included in the Hardware bag.
Clearance Requirements
The following clearances and hearth requirements are the minimum requirements when installing the Camden gas insert into a solid fuel burning appli- ance. These dimensions are measured from the firebox cabinet to the combustible material. See figures 5 and 6.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet rock, wallpaper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and also include materials that are behind
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a material, consult your local fire officials. Remem- ber, “Fire Resistant” materials are considered combustible: they are difficult to ignite, but will burn.
Always maintain the proper clearances to the appliance for the proper flow of ventilation air around the insert.
