combustible facing
material to the
fireplace surround.

Hearth Extensions
A hearth extension may be desirable for aesthetic
reasons. However, ANSI or CAN/CGA testing
standards do not require hearth extensions for gas
fireplace appliances.
Installing the Trim
Combustible materials may be brought up to the
specified clearances on the side and top front edges
of the fireplace, but MUST NEVER overlap onto the
front face. The joints between the finished wall and
the fireplace top and sides can only be sealed with a
300
°
F. (149
°
C) minimum sealant.
WARNING: WHEN FINISHING THE
FIREPLACE, NEVER OBSTRUCT OR
MODIFY THE AIR INLET/OUTLET
GRILLES IN ANY MANNER.

Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as
desired. Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other non-
combustible materials can be used to cover up the
gap between the sheet rock and the fireplace.
Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles.
When overlapping on both sides, leave enough space
so that the glass door can be removed.
Positioning the Logs
If the gas logs have been factory installed they should
not need to be positioned.
If the logs have been packaged separately, refer to
the installation instructions that accompany the logs.
Save the log instructions with this manual.
If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned
slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.
