Framing and Finishing Inset Installations CV40EPV

1. Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
Note: When constructing the framed opening ensure there is access to install
the gas lines,electrical. Also the wiring harness must be wall mounted using
the receptacle provided with the appliance. The wiring harness will be located
on the right hand side of the appliance if facing the unit from the front. This
must be done prior to any finishing.
2. F or exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the rest of
the house, apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local installation codes.
(Do not insulate the fireplace itself).
WARNING: Failure to insulate and add vapor barriers to the inside of the
exterior wall will result in operational and performance problems including, but
not limited to: excessive condensation on glass doors, poor flame package,
carbon, blue flames etc. These are not product related issues.
Note that in all applications while there is a zero clearance to combustibles
to the unit, all clearances to combustibles from the venting inside the chase
still applies. Please see venting clearances in the specific product manual.
3. I MPORTANT: The interior chase enclosure (top, back and sides), regardless
of where appliance is placed within the home, requires the use of either
drywall or other means such as insulation, plywood, wood studs, etc. to
prevent heat from escaping anywhere above the enclosure. One of the fol-
lowing methods must be used to prevent the heat from escaping into the
cavity of the enclosure.
a. If choosing drywall, joints MUST be sealed using drywall tape and
mud.
b. Insulation, plywood, wood studs, etc. installed tightly with no gaps,
seams.
As this appliance has been designed with all hot air escaping through the
chase enclosure ventilation grills only, if hot air is trapped as a result of
the hot air escaping through joints, crevasses, open studs,or other open-
ings within the enclosure above, this will change the clearances within the
enclosure causing the enclosure to over heat. It is vital that all the hot air
exits through the ventilation openings only. If using the optional heat wave
kit, this does not reduce the size of the ventilation grill. The ventilation grill(s)
must be a minimum 120 square inches regardless.
4. C ombustible material (drywall,wood, wood panels, etc.) may be brought up
to the appliance (top,bottom and sides).
5. E nsure that the material being used does not encroach anywhere in the
area of the glass. This would cause dangerous operating conditions.
6. T his appliance comes with a 1/2" lip at top and bottom to hide the ends of
the drywall. The 1/2" side and bottom lip supplied with the appliance can
alternatively be removed (see Diagram 1) and replaced with J Style Trim
or Metal Corner Bead purchased at your local hardware store to cover cut/
exposed edges of the combustible facing material or any other finishing
materials being used. 4 screws secure the bottom lip — see Diagram 1.
These will be hidden so the outer panels will need to be removed to access
the screws. See outer panel removal in this manual.
