Air intake vents are located on the exterior face of the fireplace. Must not be obstructed by finishing materials.
If a hearth is used, it has to be placed below the air intake vents. You must properly flash and slope the hearth so water drains away from the wall.
The vents must be kept clean from obstruction. To take the vent-piece off the fireplace to clean, you will need first take the decorative glass frame off.
This will allow the needed clearance to then lift the vent-piece up and out to lift off the fireplace.
NOTE: GLASS TEMPERATURES
Stellar fireplaces use large amount of outside air for combustion and to cool the viewing glass.
When operating the fireplace in the summer, the incoming air will be warmer therefore the glass will be warmer.
When operating the fireplace in the winter, the glass will be cooler. This is not a safety concern, but something to note.
