3) The appliance must be installed on a flat,
solid, continuous surface (e.g. wood, met-
al, concrete). This may be the floor, or
raiseduponaplatformtoenhanceitsvisual
impact. If the appliance is going to be in-
stalled on carpeting, combustible linoleum
tileor othercombustible materialotherthan
wood flooring, the appliance must be in-
stalled on a metal or wood panel extending

7) We recommend that you plan your installa-
tion on paper using exact measurements
for clearances and floor protection before
actually installing this appliance. Have an
authorized inspector, dealer, or installer
review your plans before installation.
Note: For flue terminations see page 10.
CLEARANCES
The clearances listed below are Minimum dis-
tances unless otherwise stated:
A major cause of chimney related fires is
failure to maintain required clearances
(air space) to combustible materials. It is
of the greatest importance that this fire-
place and flue system be installed only in
accordance with these instructions.
Clearance to Combustibles from:
Back 0" (0mm)
Side 0" (0mm)
Floor 0" (0mm)
NOTE: The minimum floor clearance must be
maintained from the top surface of the carpet-
ing, tile, etc.
Minimum Clearance from Top of Unit to:
Mantel* min.7" (177mm)

COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS
Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit
are shown in the diagram below.
INSTALLATION
This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches). Mantel can be
installed anywhere in shaded area or higher using the above scale.
Note:
Ensure that both the material and finished surface (paint)
are heat resistant (min. 85oC) or material may distort and
paint may discolor.
MANTEL LEG CLEARANCES
Combustible mantel leg clearances as per diagram below:

InstallSide NailingStrips,and TopFacing
Support before unit is slipped into
position. See page 9 for assembly
details.
3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per
local installation codes. (Do not insulate
the fireplace itself.)
4) The top of the unit must not be closer than
30" (762mm) to the ceiling.
5) Combustiblematerialmay be broughtup to
thetop andsidesoftheunitandbe covered
with ceramic tiles, bricks, rock or other
suitable combustible finishing materials.
Note: The unit does not have to be com-
pletely enclosed in a chase. The
clearance on top of the unit is 0" to
the standoffs so combustible
building materials can be laid di-
rectly on top of the standoffs. You
must maintain 1-1/2" (38mm) clear-
ance from the vent to combustible
materials for flex.
1) Determine the total thickness of facing
material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to
allow the finished surface to be flush with
the front of the unit. Total facing thickness
canvaryfrom1/2"(13mm)to1-1/4"(32mm)
thick.
6) Use steel studs for framing where the
1-1/2" (38mm) clearance from the vent to
combustibematerialcannot bemaintained.
NOTE
These are framing dimensions only,
NOT finished wall dimensions.
Gas is supplied from the right hand
side and the power from the left
hand side.
Ensure depth of register and outer
wall allow for minimum horizontal
flue length of 203mm.
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with
framing material.

"C" Screw Position:
For a facing material depth of
1-1/4"(32mm), the top facing
support must be reversed.
TheTopFacingSupport,theSideNailingStrips
and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly
positioned and attached to the top before unit
is slipped into position.
TopStandoffAssembly
The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position
and must be pulled up and bent into the correct
shape. Setup each of the 2 Top Standoff by
bendingupatthebendlinesuntilthescrewhole

holesonthe toplineup.Use threemorescrews
per standoff to attach securely to the top.
Top Facing Support &
Side Nailing Strips
Determine the total thickness of facing material
(e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the
finished surface to be flush with the front of the
unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2"
(13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.
