FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Step 1. Frame these appliances as illustrated in

Figures 7 through 9. All framing details must

allow for a minimum clearance to combustible

framing members, as shown in Figure 4 on

Page 5. Also refer to Fireplace Specifications

on Page 8. Headers may be in direct contact

with the appliance top spacers but must not be

supported by them or notched to fit around them.

All construction above the appliance must be

self supporting. DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE

FOR STRUCTURAL SUPPORT.

NOTE: The framed depth from a framed wall,

must always be measured from a finished

surface. If a wall covering such as durrock is

to be attached to the rear wall, then the depth

must be measured from the wall surface. It is

important that this dimension be exact.

NOTE: Non-combustible framing members are

not required, but are recommended.

Step 2. Level the firebox by checking the top

edge of the firebox. Shim if necessary.

Step 3. The fireplace should be secured to the

side framing members, using the full length

nailing flange located on both sides of the

fireplace. Use 8d nails, or screws.

IMPORTANT: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES

SHALL THE FIREBOX TOP SPACERS BE RE-

MOVED OR MODIFIED. THE HEADER MAY BE

IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE TOP SPACERS

BUT MUST NOT BE SUPPORTED BY THEM OR

NOTCHED TO FIT AROUND THEM.

Step 4. Identify the desired location for the

battery pack/ON/OFF switch junction box. This

should be easily accessible and connivent

for use. Avoid installing where the opening

could be blocked by snow, bushes, etc. Also,

considerations need to be made to avoid water

infiltration. The electrical junction box must be

positioned within range of the electrical umbili-

cal cord (9 feet). Route the umbilical cord to

the box to ensure proper length. Secure the

umbilical cord per appropriate local and national

electrical codes.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.

ROUTING GAS LINE

Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line along the inside

of the right side framing as shown in Figure

5. Gas lines must be routed, constructed and

made of materials that are in strict accordance

with local codes and regulations.

All appliances are factory-equipped with a

flexible gas line connector and 1/2" shutoff

valve. (See Figure 12 on Page 11).

NOTE: An addiional inlet has been provided on

the left side (see Figure 6).
