Step 10. Installing Trim, Logs & Ember Material

Installing the Trim

Combustible materials may be brought up to the specified clearances on the side and top front edges of the fireplace, but MUST NEVER overlap onto the front face. The joints between the finished wall and the fireplace top and sides can only be sealed with a 300° F. (149° C) minimum sealant.

WARNING: WHEN FINISHING THE FIREPLACE,

!NEVER OBSTRUCT OR MODIFY THE AIR INLET/ OUTLET GRILLES IN ANY MANNER.

Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as desired. Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other non-combustible materials can be used to cover up the gap between combustible material (sheetrock or wood) and the fireplace.

Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles. When overlapping on both sides, leave enough space so that the bottom grille can be lowered and the trim door removed.

Positioning the Logs

If the gas logs have been factory installed they should not need to be positioned. If the logs have been packaged separately, refer to the instructions that accompany the logs. Save the log instructions with this manual.

If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.

Quadra-Fire fireplaces manufactured with tempered glass may be installed in hazardous locations such as bathtub enclosures as defined by the CPSC. The tempered glass has been tested and certified to the requirements of ANSI Z97.1-1984 and CPSC 16 CFR 1202. (Safety Glazing Certi- fication Council SGCC # 1595 and 1597. Architectural Test- ing, Inc. Reports 02-31919.01 and 02-31917.01.)

This statement is in compliance with CPSC 16 CFR Sec- tion 1201.5 “Certification and labeling requirements” which refers to 15 USC 2063 stating “…Such certificate shall ac- company the product or shall otherwise be furnished to any distributor or retailer to whom the product is delivered.”

Some local building codes require the use of tempered glass with permanent marking in such locations. Glass meeting this requirement is available from the factory. Please con- tact your dealer or distributor to order.

Preparing Electric Ember Bed and Lava Rock

Start with fitting your grate with the andirons found in your manual bag assembly. You will find four andirons and four andiron tabs as shown (see Figure 41).
