Proflame 2 Control System
Hearth Extension
Side Facing Clearances
Up to 40 Feet
Caution: While a hearth extension is not required and
combustible flooring materials may be brought directly up
to the fireplace, many materials (such as wood flooring)
may not tolerate the radiant heat from this fireplace,
resulting in discoloration, shrinking and cracking. For this
reason, we suggest a non-combustible hearth that is no
more than 1” above the bottom of the fireplace. If material
is thicker, fireplace must be raised accordingly.
Caution: Hearth extensions thicker than 1” will
interfere with the window frame when opening.

PROGRAM
TOWN & COUNTRY
LUXURY FIREPLACES
Town and Country D Series fireplaces use the SIT
Proflame 2 control system.
This includes an elegant hand-held, programmable,
multi-function remote control transmitter with an easy
to read LCD display.
The fireplace also comes with a Town & Countrys’
proprietary wall-mounted control panel which allows
for simple ON/OFF operation, or can be linked with
the hand-held remote control unit. This panel also
accepts four double A batteries to provide for a back-
up system during power outages. The wall-mounted
panel also works on most customer supplied Home
Automation Systems which allow for full control of
fireplace flame and light modulation.
SUB FLOOR
LINTEL
Surface of hearth extension
may not be higher than the
oor of the lintel and may not
be more than 1 inch above
the bottom of the replace.
Caution: This fireplace may be recessed up to a
maximum depth of 4 1/2”. This recess must be
constructed from non-combustible material. The space
between the outside framing edge and the firebox must
be completely free of any obstructions or debris, and the
window, with trim fitted, must be able to move freely.
No building material is permitted to protrude past the
framing edges attached to the replace under ANY
circumstance.

Wall Termination Venting Chart
NOTE: The vent must not exceed a total length of 68 feet. Any
combination of rise and run may be used but must be constrained
to the boundaries of this chart. A total of 3 - 90° elbows or
combination of other elbows equalling 90° can be used without
reducing horizontal run. For each additional 90° elbow, or an
equal combination of elbows, reduce horizontal vent run by 2
feet. Ensure vent pipe is properly supported.
