INSTALLATION
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.

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 final position - it is important to know the
total thickness / height of finished hearth (tile, carpet, etc.) The base
of the fireplace, 4 sided faceplate or mantel should be level or higher
than the finished hearth height.

VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The B36XTCE uses the "balanced flue" technology Co-Axial sys-
tem. The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while
the outer liner draws outside combustion air into the combustion cham-
ber 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.

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).
