PRE-INSTALLATION STEPS

The appliance is shipped with all gas controls
and components installed and pre-wired.
Before installing the appliance, follow these steps:
1. Remove the shipping carton.
2. Remove the shipping pad, exposing the
barrier and front glass door.
Barrier (see Notice, Page 40)
This fireplace comes with a barrier to reduce the
likelihood of burns from touching hot glass. If
the barrier is damaged, the fireplace should be
turned off immediately and the fireplace must
not be operated until a new, approved factory
barrier for this unit is installed.
To remove barrier follow these steps.
A. Lift barrier up by the frame at the top.
B. Remove lower filler piece by pulling down
off of the barrier.
C. Lower barrier and push barrier to left to
release right side.

(see Figure 39 on Page 26). Tilt the top of the
glass frame away from the unit. Lift it carefully
off the bottom door track and set the door aside,
protecting it from inadvertent damage.
4. Remove the embers and volcanic stone
from the control compartment (Traditional
models).

DETAILED INSTALLATION STEPS

Step 1. FRAMING
Frame these appliances as illustrated in Figure
8 on Page 12, unless the appliance is to be
installed in a corner. See Figure 9 on Page 13
for corner framing installations. All framing
details must allow for a minimum clearance
to combustible framing members as shown in
Table 5 on Page 10.
If the appliance is to be elevated above floor
level, a solid continuous platform must be
constructed below the appliance.
Headers may be in direct contact with the ap-
pliance top spacers but must not be supported
by them or notched to fit around them.
The fireplace should be secured to the side fram-
ing members using the unit nailing flanges - one
top and bottom on each side of the fireplace front
(see Figure 7). Use 8d nails or their equivalent.
NOTE: The nailing flanges, combustible members
and screw heads located in areas directly adja-

To The Framing
cent to the nailing flanges, are EXEMPT from the
1/2" clearance to combustible requirements for
the firebox outer wrapper. Combustible framing
may be in direct contact with the nailing flanges
and may be located closer than 1/2" from screw
heads and the firebox wrapper in areas adjacent
to the nailing flanges. Frame the opening to
the exact dimensions specified in the framing
details of this manual.
