INTRODUCTION
General Information
These fireplaces are traditional radiant heat fireplaces with standard bar grates, optional Outside Air Kits (required for outdoor installa- tions) and optional Operable
These appliances are approved for installation indoors or outdoors.
Indoors: These appliances are approved for installation in residential homes and other buildings of conventional construction including commercial, not in manufactured homes(see Figure 5).
Outdoors: These appliances are approved for installion against an outside wall of a house, or as a freestanding fireplace on the porch, patio, or located in the yard (see Figure 6). The Outdoor Fireplace must be enclosed to prevent impact damage to the outside of the fireplace. Build an outside enclosure out of standard building materials, being careful to maintain the minimum air clearances speci- fied in these Installation Instructions. When installing the fireplace as a freestanding unit on your porch, patio or backyard, it must also be enclosed to prevent impact damage to the fireplace. However, the enclosure must now be finished on all four (4) sides. The exterior of the enclosure may be finished in a textured plywood, a wood clapboard siding, brick, or a cultured stone.
Vinyl siding is not recommended for use on the front of the fireplace due to the heat the unit produces. This can cause the vinyl siding to deteriorate.
Note: Illustrations shown reflect “typical” installations with nominal dimensions and are for design and framing reference only. Actual installations may vary due to individual design preferences. However, always maintain minimum clearances to combustible materials and do not violate any specific installation requirements.
