ASSEMBLY STEPS

The typical sequence of installation follows, however, each installation is unique resulting in variations to those described.

3.Position the appliance.

4.Install the vent system and exterior termina- tion.

5.Field wire and install operating control switch.

6.Make connection to gas supply.

7.Install (optional) outside Air Kit.

8.Install the logs and rockwool.

PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES

The fireplace may be installed directly on a combustible floor or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. Do not place fireplace on carpeting, vinyl or other soft floor coverings. It may, however, be placed on flat wood, ply- wood, particle board or other hard surfaces. Be sure fireplace rests on a solid continuous floor or platform with appropriate framing for sup- port and so that no cold air can enter the room from under the fireplace.

The fireplace may be positioned and then the framing built around it, or the framing may be constructed and the fireplace positioned into the opening.

Usually, no special floor support is needed for the fireplace, however, to be certain:

1.Estimate the total weight of the fireplace system and surround materials such as brick, stone, etc., to be installed.

2.Measure the square footage of the floor space to be occupied by the system, surrounds and hearth extensions.

3.Note the floor construction, i.e. 2 x 6’s, 2 x 8’s or 2 x 10’s, single or double joists, type and thickness of floor boards.
