FRAMING & FINISHING
1) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
IMPORTANT: The framed opening must be of non-combustible
material.
Note: When constructing the framed opening, please ensure there
is access to install the gas lines when the unit is installed.
2) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the
rest of the house, apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local instal-
lation codes. (Do not insulate the fireplace itself and/or fluing).
Clearances must be maintained as per this manual.
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.
3) The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. You
must maintain clearances from the flue to combustible materials: See
"Clearances" section. Combustible materials can be laid against the
side and back standoffs and the stove base.
4) Non-combustible material (ie. tile, slate, etc) may be brought up to and
overlap the unit (top and bottom) ensuring that the maximum thickness
does not go beyond the 1-1/2" (38mm) as shown in the diagram below.
The faceplate will not be able to be mounted if finished material is
beyond 1-1/2" (38mm).
Ensure front of facing mate-
rial is flush with the edge of
the flange on the fireplace.

5) If material such as brick, stone, etc extends past the faceplate depth
(1-1/2"), when finishing around the faceplate, the minimum opening
dimensions noted below must be adhered to ensuring for the removal
of the faceplate and for the safe operation of this appliance.
NOTE: Spacing of 1" (25mm) around the completed surround must be
adhered to.
