fireplace surround.
Step 11
Installing Trim,
Logs, and Ember
Material
Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as desired. Marble, brass,
brick, tile, or other non-combustible materials can be used to cover up the gap
between the sheet rock and the fireplace.
Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles. When overlapping on both
sides, leave enough space so that the glass door can be removed.

Positioning the Logs

If the gas logs have been factory installed they should not need to be positioned.
If the logs have been packaged separately, refer to the installation instructions that
accompany the logs. Save the log instructions with this manual.
If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned slightly to avoid excessive
flame impingement.

A hearth extension may be desirable for aesthetic
reasons. However, ANSI or CAN/CGA testing
standards do not require hearth extensions for gas
fireplace appliances.

Installing the Trim

Combustible materials may be brought up to the
specified clearances on the side and top front edges
of the fireplace, but MUST NEVER overlap onto the
front face. The joints between the finished wall and
the fireplace top and sides can only be sealed with a
