SELECTING LOCATION
To determine the safest and most efcient
location for the replace, you must take into
consideration the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper
clearances (see Figures 6 and 7).
2. Consider a location where replace will
not be affected by drafts, air conditioning
ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids cutting of joists or
roof rafters will make installation easier.
4. An outside air kit is available with this
replace (see Optional Outside Air Kit,
page 11).

ooring, replace must be installed upon
a metal or wood panel extending full width
and depth of replace.
3. Set replace directly in front of this open-
ing and slide unit back until nailing anges
touch side framing.
4. Check level of the replace and shim with
sheet metal if necessary.
5. Before securing fireplace to prepared
framing, ember protector (provided) must
be placed between hearth extension (not
