It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and
the vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local
building codes. FIGURES 31-33.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fireplace system.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac-
commodate for the thickness of the finished floor materi-
als, 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 flashing accessories.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face.
Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front
of the fireplace but must not cover or protrude past any of
the black face-areas of the fireplace. Non-combustible ma-
terial (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these
areas.

Do not kink flex connector.
5. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water
solution.
Do not use open flame.
Do not connect either the wall switch, thermostat or
gas valve to electricity (110 volts).
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burner before re-installing the door.
In Canada, mobile home installation may be vented hori-
zontally or vertically. In the United States, it may only be
installed vertically. See "Vertical Venting" or "Horizontal Air
Terminal Installation" for installation.
The fireplace is equipped with two 1/4" diameter holes
located in the front left and right corners of the base. For
mobile home installations, the fireplace must be fastened
in place. Use #10 hex head screws, inserted through the
holes in the base to secure. It is recommended that the
fireplace be secured in all installations.
Always turn off the pilot and the fuel supply at the
source, prior to moving the mobile home.
After moving the mobile home and prior to lighting the
fireplace, ensure that the logs are positioned correctly.
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation
or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body,
it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclo-
sure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would
finish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure
that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the
cavity.
