Finishing Materials (Wood Framing)
Combustible or non-combustible finishing materials may be used
to finish up to the fireplace.
DO NOT PACK THE VOID AROUND OR ABOVE THE
APPLIANCE WITH INSULATION OR MINERAL WOOL.
NOTE: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed
insulation or vapour barrier coming into contact with
the appliance body, it is recommended that the walls
of the appliance enclosure be "finished" off with
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.

routed to the right side (if hardwiring) of the appliance, follow
steps below.
