Step 12. HOOD INSTALLATION

All of these appliances must have hoods installed prior to operating on all sides with glass enclosure panels.

On all clean face units, slide the hoods into the slots on the lower edges of the radiant panels (Figure 28).

FINISHING REQUIREMENTS

Wall Details

Complete finished interior wall. To install the appliance facing flush with the finished wall, position framework to accommodate the thickness of the finished wall (Figures 28 ).

A hearth extension is not required with this appliance. If a hearth extension is used, do not block the control compartment access panel. Any hearth extension used is for appearance only and does not have to conform to standard hearth extension installation requirements.

Note: Combustible wall finish materials and/or surround materials must not be allowed to encroach the area defined by the appliance front face (black sheet metal). Never allow combustible materials to be positioned in front of or overlapping the appliance front face.

See Figures 28.

Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other appliance trim, may be installed on the appliance front face with these exceptions: they must not cover any portion of the glass or louvers; they must not cover any portion of the top radiant panel and the air gaps surrounding the top radiant panel.

Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according to the depth of the mantel. (See Figure 27). Mantels constructed of non-combustible materials may be installed at any height above the appliance opening; however, do not allow anything to hang below the hood.

NOTE - Hood shown as positioned in louvered front model. The hood position in the flush faced front model is lower than shown.

*Note - The side walls of mantels may protrude beyond the front face of the fireplace a maximum of 5 inches (127mm) at 0 inch clearance to the sides of the fireplace.

COLD CLIMATE INSULATION

For cold climate installations, seal all cracks around your appliance with noncombustible material and wherever cold air could enter the room. It is especially important to insulate outside chase cavity between studs and under floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above ground level. Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked or stuffed with unfaced fiberglass insulation. In cold climates, if the fireplace is being installed on a cement slab, a sheet of plywood or other raised platform can be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room. It also helps to sheetrock inside surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness and caulk firestops.
