Owner`s manual

Initial Installation
QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY
INTRODUCTION:
This section of the owner’s manual is for the use of qualied technicians only. Fireplace placement, hearths, facings,
mantles, and venting terminations will be covered, as well as the gas and electric systems. There are several
installation safety guidelines that must be adhered to. Please carefully read the safety precautions at the front of
this manual.
PLACEMENT:
The location for the replace can be along a wall, raised or at oor level, or in a corner. There are specic framing
measurements for each situation. The basic opening should have the dimensions shown below in Figure 6.
The replace must have a strong and level surface to be placed on. The surface should be made of wood or a non-
combustible material, not carpet.
The 19
7
/16in (49.4cm) dimension takes into account the 1in (2.5cm) standoff on the back of the rebox. The
framing boards may touch the standoffs, but no insulating material can be placed between the frame and
the standoffs.
The gas line,
3
/8in MPT, should be brought to the right side of the replace. If this set up is inconvenient, the
electrical wire and the gas line conguration can be reversed.
The location should be chosen so the replace will be at least 36in from drapes, doors and other combustibles. The
replace opening should also be at least 5in from the nearest perpendicular wall.
