PENINSULA INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Refer to pages 6-13. All venting must have a minimum clear-
ance of 2" to combustible material on the top and 1" to the
sides and bottom.
See Page 18 for additional framing dimensions.
NOTE: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insula-
tion or vapor barrier coming in contact with the
fi replace body, it is recommended that the walls of the
fi replace enclosure be "fi nished" (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as
you would fi nish any other outside wall of a home. This will
ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within
the cavity.
It is best to frame your fi replace after it is positioned and the
vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local build-
ing codes.

A = 22 " minus fi nishing material thickness each side.
To install the fi replace face fl ush with the fi nished wall, posi-
tion the framework to accommodate the thickness of the
fi nished wall.
Care should be taken to maintain suffi cient clearance for
the vent installation. A horizontal vent installation requires
a minimum height of 45" using fl exible vent pipe, to the
underside of the enclosure top including the 2" clearance to
combustibles.

COUNTER TOP / BAR INSTALLATION
When fi nishing the fi replace, combustible material may rest
directly on of the top extension.
NOTE: Maximum weight tolerance is 400 lbs, provided
that it is evenly distributed across the top extensions of
the fi replace.
In order to achieve a counter top or bar type appearance with
the minimum height allowed, framing must be non-combusti-
ble and may be done with metal studding attached to the top
extension sides or the upper frame of the fi replace.
FIGURE 16
* The top extension may be removed if non-combustible fram-
ing is faced with a non-combustible material placed fl ush with
the front face of the unit and extending from the top of the
unit. (Example: cement board) (not supplied). Combustible
counter / bar tops must maintain a minimum of 38" from the
base of the fi replace to the underside of the top.
FIGURE 17
NOTE: Wolf Steel trim and/or surround kits will not totally
cover the top extension of the fi replace. In order to obtain
a smooth transition from the trim / surround to the wall, it
is recommended that the top extension be removed and
the unit be installed following the above procedure.
