recessed into combustible construction.
WARNING
Fire hazard is an extreme risk
if these clearances (air space) to combustible materials are not
adhered to. It is of greatest importance that this replace and vent
system be installed only in accordance with these instructions.
CLEARANCES
The clearances listed below are Minimum distances unless otherwise stated:
A major cause of chimney related res is failure to maintain required clearances (air space) to combustible materials. It is of the greatest importance
that this replace and vent system be installed only in accordance with these instructions.

MANTEL CLEARANCES
Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "High Quality" or the paint may discolour.
Due to the extreme heat this replace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of front facing are shown in
the Diagram on the right.
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is made of metal studs covered with a non-
combustible board.

FRAMING & FINISHING
1. Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
Note: When constructing the framed opening, please ensure there is access to install the gas lines when the unit is installed.
2. 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.)
WARNING: Failure to insulate and add vapor barriers to the inside of the exterior wall will result in operational and performance problems including, but
not limited to: excessive condensation on glass doors, poor flame package, carbon, blue flames etc. These are not product related issues.
3. The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. You must maintain clearances from the vent to combustible materials: See "Clearances"
section. Combustible materials can be laid against the side and back standoffs and the stove base.
4. Tile Finish Option 1: Drywall may be installed onto the unit as shown below to create a surface to apply finishing materials such as tile, slate, etc.
Drywall cannot extend beyond the metal surface of the unit.
5. Tile Finish Option 2: If applying a non-combustible finishing material (tile,slate,etc) the material can be installed directly onto the metal surface (clean
front) of the unit in the area shown below.

*NOTE: The 9-1/4" x 40-5/8" non combustible material supplied with this unit can be replaced if trying to achieve a clean finish. A large piece of non com-
bustible material (ie. 4' x 8' x 1/2") can be used to eliminate taped seams on or near unit.

7. Non-combustible material (ie. tile, slate, etc) may be brought up to the edge of the glass door of the unit. Minimum clearances must be adhered to, this
will assure ease of glass door removal and access to the lower panel.
NOTE: Non-combustible finishing materials may be of any thickness desired.
Minimum Clearances for Finishing Materials
Trim materials
Note: All non-combustible facing material should butt up cleanly
to the flanges around the firebox opening.
Rough edges may be visible from an angle.
To maintain a clean finished edge - facing material edges
may be finished with a J-style trim or metal cornerbead (both
materials available at your local building or hardware store).
IMPORTANT: Materials used must be NON-COMBUSTIBLE.
IMPORTANT FINISHING DETAIL NOTE:
Before placing unit into nal position - it is important to know the total
thickness / height of nished hearth (tile, carpet, etc.) The base of the
replace should be level or higher than the nished hearth height.

UNIT ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
The Top Nailing Support, the Side Nailing Strips, the 2 Top Stando󰀨s and the Flue Collar must be correctly positioned and attached before the replace is
moved into position.
TOP STANDOFF ASSEMBLY
The top stando󰀨s are shipped in a at position and must be folded into shape and
attached.
Take each stando󰀨 and bend into the correct shape. Bend up at the bend lines until
the tab in the stando󰀨 and the pre-punched slots on the replace top line up. Be sure
to use correct slots, they are marked.

VENTING INTRODUCTION
The B36XTCE uses the "balanced ue" technology Co-Axial system.
The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the outer
liner draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby
eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and losing
warm room air up the chimney.
Note: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside
of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid
fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's
own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
VENT RESTRICTOR, BAFFLE & HEAT DEFLECTOR INSTALLATION
NOTE: THE VENT RESTRICTOR & BAFFLE MUST BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO OPTIONAL PANEL INSTALLATION.
Note: If installing brick/optional panels, see brick/optional panel
instructions before proceeding to next step.

tighten.
Heat Deector Diagram 4
1. Determine the venting configuration.
2. Remove top heat deflector and baffle plate (reverse of steps 5 & 6).
3. Go to venting arrangements section (in the manual) to determine if
a vent restrictor setting is required.
Note: The vent restrictor does not apply to rear vent applications.
4. Align the vent restrictor plate to the required vent restrictor position
as per the Diagrams shown.
5. Once the vent restrictor plate is in the required position, secure with
2 - 1/4" x 1/2" screws. Ensure all screws are tight, but do not over
tighten. (See Diagram 2).
