PENINSULA INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

fer to pages 6-13. All venting must have a minimum clear-
ance of 1" to combustible.
See Page 18 for additional framing dimensions.
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 enclosure 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.
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.

A = 22 " minus finishing material thickness each side.
To install the fireplace face flush with the finished wall,
position the framework to accommodate the thickness
of the finished wall.
Care should be taken to maintain sufficient clearance for
the vent installation. A horizontal vent installation requires
a minimum height of 39½" using rigid or 43" using flexible
vent pipe. (including the 1" clearance to combustibles).

COUNTERTOP / BAR INSTALLATION
When finishing the fireplace, combustible material may
rest directly on of the top extension. In order to achieve a
countertop or bar type appearance with the minimum height
allowed, framing must be non-combustible and may be
done with metal studding attached to the top extension
sides or the upper frame of the fireplace.
FIGURE 16
*
The top extension may be removed if non-combustible
framing is faced with a non-combustible material placed
flush with the front face of the unit and extending from the
top of the unit. (Example: cement board) (not supplied).
Combustible counter / bar tops must maintain a minimum
of 38 inches from the base of the fireplace to the underside
of the top.
FIGURE 17
NOTE: Wolf Steel trim and/or surround kits will not to-
tally cover the top extension of the fireplace. In order to
obtain a smooth transition from the trim / surround to the
wall, it is recommended that the top extension be re-
moved and the unit be installed following the above pro-
cedure.
