continuous surface For example a wood, metal
or concrete floor or in a raised (on the wall) ap-
plication. The appliance must be installed on
a metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the appliance.
3. The CV40E/CV40B Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
can be installed in a recessed position or framed
out into the room as in A, B, C, D and E.

6. 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 vent terminations refer to "Exterior
Vent Termination Locations" section.
Unit Assembly Prior to Installation
Before you start
The CV40E has 6 standoffs, 2 on each side and 2 at the back that need assembly before installation.
The CB40E has only 2 standoffs at the back that need assembly before installation.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Comply with all minimum clearances.

Caution Requirements
The top, back and sides of the fireplace are defined by
standoffs. The metal ends of the standoff may NOT be
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 fireplace and vent
system be installed only in accordance with these instructions.
Clearances CV40E (single sided)
The clearances listed below are Minimum distances 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

NOTE: Framing may be constructed of combustible material (ie. 2x4) and does not require steel studs. Two (2) optional steel stud kits may also be purchased.
These kits may be used in place of the conventional wood framing as shown below. It comes as a compact kit (flush to the appliance on all sides)or
an extended kit. The extended kit protrudes beyond each side of the appliance as shown on the front cover of this manual. There is also an optional
hearth kit which may be purchased as shown on the front cover of this manual. These kits are highly recommended as it was designed specifically for
