FACING

IMPORTANT

The facade must be removable once installed. The facade is designed to overlap any facing material installed on the front of the fireplace. If thicker material is installed, use the facade as a template and make sure it can be easily removed for servicing.

1.Combustible material must be installed flush with the fireplace. It may not project in front of and on the fireplace (i.e. the steel facade of the fireplace) (Figure 14).

2.Non-combustible materials such as brick, stone or ceramic tile may project in front of and onto the fireplace facing (Figure 13).

MANTEL & FACING

The mantel must be installed at least 56” (1143 mm) above the base of the fireplace (Figure 13).

Fireplace Blower

The fireplace comes equipped with a heat activated blower. It is located in the bottom of the fireplace, towards the back. It uses 120V and must be connected to the main electrical circuit by a qualified electrician. For connection, use the electrical box supplied with the unit located on the bottom right corner of the fireplace.

If you wish to adjust the blower speed, the variable speed control (VRUW) provided must be installed in line with the wiring. Again, use a qualified electrician for installation.

If the blower requires servicing,

1- Remove the doors and decorative facade.

2- Remove the screw located below the blower motor that holds it to the back of fireplace.

3- Pull the blower out of the unit through the square hole located in the front bottom right corner.
