Page 6: General Installation Information
GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION In planning the installation for the appliance it is necessary to determine where the unit is to be installed and whether optional accessories are desired. Gas supply piping should also be planned. The following steps represent the normal sequence of installation. Each installation is unique, however, and might require a different sequence. 1. Position firebox prior to framing or into prepared framing. 2. Plumb gas line. (Gas connections should only be performed by an experienced, licensed/certified tradesman). 3. Install vent-free gas log heater per the instructions provided with the vent-free gas log heater. 4. Complete finish wall material, surround and optional hearth extension to your individual taste. 32LCUFF 36LCUFC-R 7" 1" " 6" 16" 18" FIREBOX EXTERNAL DIMENSIONS 28⅞" " 18⅝" 0½" ¼" 7¼" 8½" 0¼" 29⅞" 33⅞" 5⅜" 5⅜"... -

Minimum clearances to combustibles must be maintained. -
Page 8: Clearances And Height Requirements
CLEARANCES HEIGHT REqUIREMENTS Ensure that minimum clearances shown in Figures 4 through 7 are main- tained. Left and right clearances are determined when facing the front of the firebox. " n i m Follow these instructions carefully to ensure safe installation. Failure to follow these requirements may create a fire hazard. Sidewall clearances: The clearance from the inside of the appliance 6 " n i m to any combustible wall should not be less than 6". See Figure 4. Ceiling clearance: The ceiling must be at least 42” from the top of 6 " the firebox opening. See Figure 4. n i m 3. Back wall clearance: The appliance may be placed against a com- bustible back wall. -

Page 10: Firebox Framing
FIREBOX FRAMING Firebox framing can be built before or after the appliance is set in place. Construct firebox framing following Figures 9 through 12 and the chart below for your specific installation requirements. See Figure 1 on Page 6 for firebox dimensions. The framing headers may rest on the top of the firebox standoffs. The firebox may be installed directly on a combustible floor or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. When the firebox is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material, other than wood flooring, the firebox shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the enclosure. The classification "noncombustible material" includes, but is not limited to: stone, brick, and mortar. Noncombustibles are safe to overlay the black-painted metal face, including radiant plates, and do not pose a fire hazard. Any noncombustible finish material must not extend past or interfere with the fireplace opening. The classification "combustible material" incudes, but is not limited to: plywood, drywall, and particle board. Combustible materials may contact the sides, bottom, or back of the firebox. Do not overlay the black painted face with combustible matierals. Do not fill spaces around firebox with insulation or other materials. this could cause a fire. Figure 9 - Corner Installation "... -

The " gas line may enter either from the left side or right side of the firebox. Gas access holes are provided on both sides of the firebox. A listed manual shutoff valve must be installed upstream of the appliance. A union tee and plugged " NPT pressure tapping point should be installed upstream of hte appliance. IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff valve) in an accessible location. The main gas valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the fireplace. -

Page 15: Using Optional Outside Air Kit
USInG OptIOnAL AK-4 OUtSIDE AIR KIt COMBUSTION AIR 1. Locate combustion air assembly at an exterior location which is not likely to be accidentally blocked in any manner. Locate assembly a min. of 12" above the snow line to prevent blockage by snow accumulation. 2. Never mount the combustion air inlet assemblyin a garage or storage area where combustible fumes such as gasoline might be drawn into the fireplace. 3. Combustion air can be drawn from the crawl space under a house when an adequate supply of air is provided by open ventilation. 4. CAUTION: Do not take combustion air from attic space or garage space. 5. Locate air supply inlet at least 3' away from any applaince vent terminal. 6. Avoid extremely long runs and numerous turns in the duct leading from the fireplace to the combustion air assembly. These conditions increase the resistance to the free flow of air through the duct. See Figures 16 through 19 for methods of installing the outside air for combustion assemblies. Note: Fireplace model in illustrations may not be representative of your appliance. - Page 16 USInG OptIOnAL AK-4 OUtSIDE AIR KIt The use of outside air for combustion is optional unless required by building codes. It is only necessary to supply outside combustion air to one side of the fireplace. Use the model AK4 combustion air kit. MODEL AK-4 COMbUStIOn AIR ASSEMbLy DO NOT remove the 1.
