rest of the house, apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local instal-
lation codes. (Do not insulate the fireplace itself.)

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.
FRAMING & FINISHING
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
The top of the glass door frame must not be closer than 35" (889mm)
to the ceiling.

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.
NOTE: Facing material may not protrude beyond unit, otherwise the
optional accesories will not be able to be mounted to the unit.

5) Use steel studs for framing where the 1-1/2" (38mm) clearance
from the vent to combustible material cannot be maintained.
