WARNING: Provide adequate clearance in front of the fireplace for
barrier removal, component access, gas line installation, service

Framing dimensions should allow for wall covering thickness
and fireplace facing materials. If using a hearth, adjust the rough
opening size as necessary to maintain minimum clearance
requirements.
