Installing The Fireplace Shell

The fireplace may be installed in any location that is free of air con-
ditioning ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing. Safety, as well as ef-
ficiency of operation, must be considered when selecting the fireplace
location. Try to select a location that does not interfere with room
traffic, has adequate ventilation, and offers an accessible pathway for
B-Vent & Combustion Air Kit installation.

Framing
For protection against freezing temperatures, it is recommended that
outer walls of the chase be insulated with a vapour barrier. This will
reduce the possibility of a cold-air convection current on the fireplace.
