Refer to pages 6-13. All venting must have a minimum clear-
ance of 2" to combustible material on the top and 1" on the
sides and bottom.
See Page 18 for additional framing dimensions.
NOTE: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insula-
tion or vapor barrier coming in contact with the fi replace
body, it is recommended that the walls of the fi replace
enclosure be “fi nished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you
would fi nish any other outside wall of a home. This will
ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within
the cavity.
It is best to frame your fi replace after it is positioned and the
vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local building
codes. NOTE: The one side stud must be steel.
NOTE: LEFT CORNER UNIT ILLUSTRATED
To install the fi replace face fl ush with the fi nished wall, posi-
tion the framework to accommodate the thickness of the
fi nished wall.
Install the base panels as illustrated in steps 1-4 on page 15.
The side panel sits under the bracket tab. Holding the side
panel in position, bend down the tab to secure. DETAIL 6.
A = 25¼" minus fi nishing material thickness each side.

Combustible materials may be installed fl ush with the front of
the fi replace but must not cover any of the black face-areas
of the fi replace. Non-combustible material (brick, stone or
ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fi replace system.
When roughing in the fi replace, raise the fi replace to accom-
modate for the thickness of the fi nished fl oor materials, i.e. tile,
carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere
with the opening of the lower access door and the installation
of many decorative fl ashing accessories.
Objects placed in front of the fi replace should be kept a mini-
mum of 48" away from the glass front faces.
Refer to pages 23-26 for complete instructions regarding
mantel requirements and installations, log placement, glass
door and upper and lower louvre attachments. A minimum of
3" of cement board or non-combustible equivalent must be
installed against the side edge of the fi replace.

Finishing must be done using a non-combustible material
placed fl ush with the front face of the unit and extending
from the top of the unit such as cement board, ceramic
tile, marble, etc. when fi nishing to the fi replace. DO NOT
