The framing kits, once assembled
and attached, are used as the top
and side standoffs (see page 10)
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 (Fig. #9). Due to high temperatures, do not locate this replace in areas of high
traffic or near furniture or draperies.
The minimum clearances from the replace to combustible surfaces must be adhered
to and are shown in Fig. #2 and Fig. #3.

5056.425218D
Note: The replace 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 nishing material must not inter-
fere 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 insulated 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 #11a BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
