3- Open the control compartment access
panel, by actuating the spring-loaded mag-
netic catches securing the panel, gently de-
pressing the outer top corners of the panel
until the catches "pop" the panel free and
allowing it to swing out and down to open.
4 - Remove the bottom control compartment
f i r e - p a r t s . c o m
access panel by compressing the spring-loaded
hinge pin on the left side until it disengages
from the left cabinet panel hole. Pull the panel
away from the fireplace. See Figure 22 on
page 12.
5 - Remove the modesty panel by pulling the
bottom right corner of the modesty panel out
slightly to disengage the snap-fit feature; lift
the modesty panel by the tab on the panel's
right end, pull the right end of the panel away
from the cabinet and then pull the panel diago-
nally out of the left side cabinet panel slots. (In
the above procedure, reverse the words "left"
and "right" for EBCR-2 models). Remove the
modesty panel carefully, so that none of the
wires become loose or disconnected.

Compartment pages 6 and 7. All framing details must
Access Panel
allow for a minimum clearance to com-
bustible framing members as shown
in Table 2 on page 4 .
If the appliance is to be elevated above floor level,
a solid continuous platform must be constructed.
Headers may be in direct contact with the appli-
ance top spacers but must not be supported by
them or notched to fit around them. All construc-
tion above the appliance must be self supporting,
DO NOT use the appliance for structural support.
Side Nailing Flanges
The fireplace should be secured to the framing at
the side(s) and/or rear of the unit using the
factory-provided nailing flanges. Install the nail-
ing flanges - 8 (EBST-2), 4 (EBPF-2, EBCL-2,
EBCR-2 and EBBAY) - as shown in Figure 5
using the existing screws. Position the fireplace
within the framing. When required, the flanges
may be bent 90 degrees by hand or with the
assistance of a hammer. Use wood screws to
secure the nailing flanges to the framing. See
Table 2 on page 4 for clearances of framing
members to cabinet parts in the nailing flange
area. The nailing flange itself is exempt from
these clearances.
(FOR EBCR-2 VIEW, INTERCHANGE SIDES)
Remove these two screws and use them
when installing the nailing flanges.

Step 2. ROUTING GAS LINE

Route a ¹⁄₂" (13 mm) gas line as shown in
Figure 8 (EBST-2), 9 (EBPF-2), 10 (EBCL-2),
11 (EBCR-2) or 12 (EBBAY) on pages 6 and 7 .
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 flex-
ible gas line connector and ¹⁄₂ inch shutoff valve.
(See step 5 on page 11).
Step 3. Install the Vent System & Exterior
Termination -
In the United States, vent installation must
conform with local building codes. In the ab-
sence of local codes, vents must be installed in
accordance with the current edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1).
In Canada, vent installation must conform
with local building codes. In the absence of
local codes, vents must be installed in ac-
cordance with the current edition of the Na-
tional Standard of Canada CAN/CGA-B149.1
or B149.2 Installation Code.
This gas fireplace must be vertically vented
using listed 6 in. type-B, double-walled vent
pipe and a listed vent termination.
Slip the first 6 inch (152 mm) section of B-
Vent over the fireplace flue outlet and secure
with four sheetmetal screws (# 8 or larger),
and install the remainder of the B-Vent to the
outside. Minimum overall height of the vent
system and appliance must be 10' (2.54 m)
vertical - no offset (see Figure 6 on page 6 );
or 12' (3.7 m) when an offset up to 60
degrees from the vertical is used - this offset
may start at the fireplace flue collar (see
Figure 7 on page 6 ). The maximum overall
height of the vent system and appliance
should not exceed 40 feet.
Install the B-vent system in accordance with
the vent manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE CANNOT BE
VENTED HORIZONTALLY.
Note: Refer to the vent manufacturers in-
stallation instructions for variations of vent-
ing techniques. If common venting of sev-
eral units is contemplated, it should be dis-
cussed with an architect and the local Build-
ing Department.
Do not place insulation materials within 1 in.
of the gas vent system.
