Clearances

•
The fireplace uses 1/2" standoffs on the back and sides and 4" stand-offs on the top to space
the fireplace away from framing members or walls. These stand-offs may contact the framing
members or walls but do not place insulation or other material in the space between the stand-
offs and fireplace.
•
When installed, walls in front of the fireplace must be a minimum 18" to the side of the
faceplate (15-1/2" from the side of the fireplace). See Figure 3 on page 7.
•
Fireplace should be located such that no doors, drapes, furniture or other combustibles can be
placed close or swing closer than the minimum 36" clearance. Due to the high heat output of
this fireplace, choose a location away from high traffic areas.
•
Fireplace must be placed so the vents below and above the glass do not become blocked.

Raised Fireplaces

•
If the fireplace is raised, the fireplace enclosure must be raised as well (minimum 81" enclosure
height from base of fireplace see Figure 8).
•
The fireplace (and hearth, if desired) may be placed on a platform designed to support the
fireplace and vent (approximately 600 lbs.). See Figure 12.
