COLD CLIMATE INSULATION  
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks  
around the 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 the appliance rests, if floor is  
above ground level. Gas line holes and other  
openings should be caulked or stuffed with  
unfaced fiberglass insulation. If the fireplace  
is being installed on a cement slab, in cold  
climates, a sheet of plywood or other raised  
platform can be placed underneath to prevent  
conductingcoldupintotheroom.Italsohelpsto

APPLICATION  
TOP VENT  
LOCATION  
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and  
functional use of the appliance are primary  
concerns. However, vent system routing to  
the exterior and access to the fuel supply are  
also important. Consideration should be given  
to traffic ways, furniture, draperies, etc., due  
to elevated surface temperatures (Figure 4 ).  
The location should also be free of electrical,  
plumbing or other heating/air conditioning  
ducting.

Theapplianceisapprovedwithzeroclearanceto  
combustible materials on all sides (as detailed  
in Table 8), with the following exception: When  
the unit is installed with one side flush with a  
wall, the wall on the other side of the unit must  
not extend beyond the front edge of the unit. In  
addition,whentheunitisrecessed,thesidewalls  
surrounding the unit must not extend beyond  
the front edge of the unit. See Figure 4.  
Wall Finishes / Surrounds / Mantels  
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 Figure 58 on Page 32.  
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 removable glass  
panel or louvers.

Note: The nailing flanges, combustible members  
and screw heads located in areas directly adjacent  
to the nailing flanges, are EXEMPT from the 1/2”  
clearance to combustible requirements for the  
firebox outer wrapper. Combustible framing may be  
in direct contact with the nailing flanges and may  
be located closer than 1/2” from screw heads and  
the firebox wrapper in areas adjacent to the nailing  
flanges. Frame the opening to the exact dimensions  
specified in the framing details of this manual.

Step 1. FRAMING  
Frame these appliances as illustrated in Figure  
14 on Page 11, unless the appliance is to be  
installed in a corner. See Figure 15 on Page  
12 for corner framing installations. All framing  
details must allow for a minimum clearance to  
combustible framing members as shown in  
Table 8 on Page 9.  
STEP 2. ROUTING GAS LINE  
Remove Cardboard Before  
Using Appliance  
Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line along the inside  
of the right side framing as shown in Tables.  
Gaslinesmustberouted,constructedandmade  
of materials that are in strict accordance with  
local codes and regulations. All appliances are  
factory-equipped with a flexible gas line con-  
nector and 1/2 inch shutoff valve. (See Step 6  
on Page 26).  
See-Through Model Shown  
Figure 11  
If the appliance is to be elevated above floor  
level, a solid continuous platform must be  
constructed.  
TYPICAL INSTALLATION SEQUENCE  
The typical sequence of installation follows,  
however, each installation is unique resulting  
in variations to those described.  
Headers may be in direct contact with the  
appliance top spacers but must not be sup-  
ported by them or notched to fit around them.  
All construction above the appliance must be  
self supporting. DO NOT use the appliance for  
structural support.
