Caution: While a hearth extension is not required and
combustible ooring materials may be brought directly up
to the replace, many materials (such as wood ooring)
may not tolerate the radiant heat from this replace, re-
sulting 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 replace. If thicker,
replace must be raised accordingly.
Caution: Hearth extensions thicker than 1” will interfere with
the window frame when opening.

Caution: This replace may be recessed up to a maxi-
mum depth of 6”, this recess must be constructed
from non combustible material. The space between the
outside framing edge and the rebox must be complete-
ly free of any obstructions or debris and the window,
with trim tted, must be able to move freely. No building
material is permitted to protrude past the framing edges
attached to the replace under ANY circumstance.
Town and Country C Series replaces include our award
winning Maestro controls.
They include an elegant, programmable remote control
with a count-down timer, weekday/weekend on/off timer,
manual control and thermostat mode (where permitted),
and an easy to read LCD display.
They also come with a small wall-mounted control which
permits on/off operation, ame modulation and houses
the battery back-up system for operation during power
outages.
Maestro controls use an on-demand electronic ignition
system, a green alternative to standing pilots, which can
cut your annual fuel consumption up to 74%.

Wall Termination Venting Charts
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 four
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.
