To make installation easier, put the appliance in place and install the vent system before framing the

fireplace. Remember to install the required clearance post on top.

Before framing your fireplace, check dimensions, framing methods and finished wall facing

details. Determine the total thickness of the finishing material – drywall, ceramic, tile, slate, etc.

Make sure the finished surface will be flush with the front or side of the unit.

If you install your fireplace on an outside wall or in an alcove, use a firewall and drywall in compliance

with local building codes.

3.1.4. TOP CLEARANCE

Top clearance post are not installed when

you receive your fireplace. They must be

mounted before installing the unit. Eight

machine screws are already placed on top

of the fireplace where clearance post will

go (2 screws per spacer). Please see the

following illustrations.

Remote wiring (wall switch) must be before the facing materials to avoid costly reconstruction.

The appliance must not be completely enclosed in an alcove. Clearance above the top of the

fireplace is 0 in. from the top clearance post. This means that combustible building materials can

rest directly on top of the upper mounts.

You must leave a 3 in. clearance between the first 8 ft. of vent and combustible materials

(unless protected by a firewall). The rest of the vent requires a clearance of 1 in.

Never obstruct the air duct inlet or outlet. This could pose a risk of overheating, which could lead

to a fire.

Only non-combustible materials (brick, slate tile, steel or other non-combustible materials allowed by local

standards) can be used to cover the appliance's non-removable/fixed surfaces.
