BEFORE YOU START (CONT’D)
PREPARATION
This replace and its components are safe when installed in
accordance with this manual.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
•Gas supply piping – right side entrance - See page 10.
•Electrical supply and connections 120V, 60Hz, 1 Amp,
right side entrance - See page 10.
• Allowable replace mounting surfaces:
1. A hard, at, combustible or non-combustible surface
2. A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible
material.
3. The four corners of the replace on non-combustible
material – such as cinder blocks (where allowed by local
codes) – so that contact is made on all four perimeter
edges on the bottom of the replace.
• If the replace is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood ooring, install a metal
or wood panel underneath extending the full width and depth
of the replace.
• This replace is designed to be installed in a zero-clearance
enclosure. Combustible material can come in contact with
the side standoff spacers, and the replace can be secured
to combustible framing with the framing brackets provided.
PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
Determine where the replace will be located and what
accessories will be installed.
Your location must allow for:
• Venting – either vertical or horizontal.
• Choose a vent conguration. See pages 34-36 and make
sure the required access through attics and walls is not
blocked by other utilities such as water lines, sewer vents,
gas lines, etc. If access is blocked, move the utilities or
relocate the replace.
• Gas supply piping (right side entrance) - See pipe size and
specs on page 17.
• Electrical supply requirements (120V, 60Hz, 1 Amp) - right
side entrance - See page 10.
• Proper framing required for replace installation.
See page 22.
• Finishing the replace – drywall thickness, tile or stone
thickness, and desired decorative accessories can affect
how you frame the openings and how you attach the nailing
anges to set the proper depth. See pages 23 - 24 for
nishing details, before you begin.
ACCESSORIES
Accessories for this appliance must be installed after tting the
replace into the framed opening (excluding the DFED489SS
wall kit, which must be installed prior).
