In planning the installation for the replace, it is necessary to determine where the unit is to be installed, location of vent
system and where gas supply piping may be plumbed. Various types of installations are possible, such as, a peninsula
wall, an island, and between two interior walls (Figure 8). Due to high temperatures, do not locate this replace in areas
of high trafc or near furniture or draperies.
The minimum clearances from the fireplace to combustible surfaces must be adhered to and are shown in
(Figure 2 and Figure 3).

Locating The Fireplace
Standoffs

5056.425218
Note: The fireplace should be in place
and venting installed before framing in
or building an enclosure around the unit.
When the appliance is installed directly
on carpeting, tile or other combustible
material, other than wood ooring, the
appliance shall be installed on a metal or
wood panel extending the full width and
depth of the appliance.
The Town & Country replace must be framed
in as described below or totally enclosed
with non-combustible material, such as
facing brick.
Determine the total thickness of facing
material to be used. A thickness of 3/4" will
allow the nishing surface to be ush with
the front of the unit. If preferred, additional
masonry type non-combustible material can
be installed above and to the sides up to 6
inches forward of the appliance.
*The finishing material must not interfere
with glass frame access.*
A Steel Stud Framing Kit is supplied with
the replace and must be used unless the
replace is totally enclosed with
non-combustible material. Assemble the
framing kit as per the instructions on pages
10 – 12 of this manual. Attach the steel frame
to the replace once the replace is in its
nal position. Secure the steel frame to the
framing brackets on each side of the unit.
Ensure that the studs are set back far enough
to allow for thickness of nishing surface.
The sides and top of the replace can
be framed in up to the steel studs using
conventional lumber. Consult local building
codes for specic requirements.
Due to high temperatures, non-combustible
backer board, such as cement board or its
equivalent, must be used to sheet in the front
of the replace, extending 12” above and 5
9/16” to the side of the framing edge bars.
(Fig #11) Standard sheet rock (dry wall) may
be used beyond this.
If the backer board is not to be nished with
other non-combustible material such as
tiles, it is recommended that top sections
of the board be a single sheet of calcium
silicate board or its equivalent. Taped and
mudded joints may crack due to the elevated
temperatures.
Chase Insulation:
When installing this replace against a
non-insulated exterior wall or chase, it is
recommended that the outer walls be insu-
lated to same degree as other exterior walls.
Do not place replace directly against the
insulation. Cover the insulation and plastic
vapour barrier with a solid surface, such as
dry wall (sheet rock). Consult local codes.
Do not insulate or use plastic vapour barrier
within the framing kit.
CAUTION: See “Figure 11” on page
9 BEFORE PROCEEDING.
NOTE:
The chase must be properly
sealed at the ceiling level or
between floors in a multilevel
installation.

If nishing the wall above the unit with
paint, the framing kit shipped with
the unit should be discarded.Use full
sheets of calcium silicate board or
equivalent and full length metal studs
to nish and frame around the unit.
Calcium silicate board is a high grade
material with cement, quartz and natural
minerals as the main raw materials. (Note:
Calcium Silicate is 1/2” thick)
CAUTION: Calcium Silicate board can be
damaged if dropped or struck. Handle with
care. Inspect board prior to installation
and do not use if cracked.
NOTE: It is recommended to pre-drill
mounting holes in the board prior to
securing to the framing. This will prevent
the board from cracking.

Hearth Extension
Caution:
While a hearth extension is not required and combustible ooring materials may be brought directly up to the
base of the replace, many materials (such as wood ooring) may not tolerate the radiant heat from this re-
place, resulting in discoloration, shrinking and cracking. There must be a minimum clearance of 6” between
the bottom of the glass door and the surface of a combustible hearth.
Caution: Any object higher than 11 9/16” will interfere with the window frame being able to open.
11 9/16” 6” Min.

The NV / PV (Natural Vent / Power Vent) switch (Figure 32) on the inter-
face board (Figure 26) is set according to which type of evacuating vent
system is present. If the replace is vented without the assistance of
a power vent, the switch should be set to “NV”. If using a power vent,
“PV” should be selected. Follow the instructions provided with the
power vent kit for proper installation.
The TCWS54ST_D must be pre-set to the “PV” setting.

NOTE:
• Digital I/O must be connected to a dry contact relay.
• Ananlog ame and light input through 0 - 10 volt DC
signal scaled as follows:
Low = 1 volt
High = 10 volts
NOTE:
When a signal has been supplied by the home automation system, the replace control will repeat the signal every 2
hours or until a new command has been received.
The home automation feature supplied with this replace is capable of controlling the ame and light on/off function with
the use of a dry contact relay common to home automation systems. Furthermore, the ame and light level may be modu-
lated from high to low using the 0 - 10 volt analog output available on most home automation systems.
Figure 34 shows the wire designations required to connect the replace to a home automation system.

Servicing of the appliance can be performed from inside the unit and through the access panel located in the
rebox bottom.
Caution: The gas line should be installed by a qualied service person in accordance with all building codes.
This section is intended as a guide for qualied technicians installing this appliance. Consult local and/or
national building codes before proceeding.
Gas supply line access holes are located beneath the replace on the ue side of the Control Box. Gas valve
inlet accepts a 3/8" N.P.T. tting. Correct gas line diameter must be used to assure proper operation and
pressure.
A drip leg must be installed in the gas supply line going to the gas control valve to minimize the possibility of
any loose scale or dirt within the gas supply line from entering the control valve.
It is essential that a union or anged connection be installed just upstream of the valve and inside the
control compartment to allow for repair or replacement of the gas valve. Check local codes for additional
requirements.
Check local codes for additional requirements.
1. Connect the gas supply to the gas valve. See “Figure 23” on page 15.
2. Turn on the gas supply and check that all connections are tight and leak free.
WARNING: The access panel including gasket must be reinstalled after conversion/instal-
lation or servicing has been completed. Failure to do so will cause overheating and prema-
ture failure of the control system.
Note: To test the gas pressure, turn off the gas supply before removing the plug from the
supply pressure test port or manifold pressure test port. Verify gas pressures with the fire-
place lit and on the highest setting.
Please refer to “Gas Pressure Check Procedure” on page 32.
