Framing and Finishing Inset Installations

1. Frame the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
When constructing the framed opening, ensure there is access to
install the gas lines and electrical. Also, the wiring harness must be
wall mounted using the receptacle provided with the appliance. The
wiring harness is located on the right side of the appliance if facing
it from the front. This must be done prior to any finishing.
2. For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the rest
of the house and apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local installation
codes. Do not insulate the fireplace itself.
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. One of the following methods must be used to prevent 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. must be installed tightly with no
gaps or seams.
This appliance was designed with hot air escaping through the chase en-
closure ventilation grills only. If hot air is trapped as a result of it escaping
through joints, crevasses, open studs, or other openings within the enclosure,
this will change the clearances within the enclosure, causing it to overheat.
It is vital that all the hot air exits through the ventilation openings only.
In all applications, while there is zero clearance to combustibles to the
unit, all clearances to combustibles from the venting inside the chase
still apply. Please see venting clearances in the specific product manual.
4. Combustible material (drywall,wood,wood panels, etc.) may be brought
up to the appliance (top, bottom, and sides)
5. Ensure that the material used does not encroach anywhere in the area of
the glass. This causes dangerous operating conditions.
6. This appliance comes with a 1/2" (13 mm) lip at the top, sides, and bot-
tom to hide the ends of the drywall. The 1/2" (13 mm) side and bottom
lip supplied with the appliance can be replaced (see Diagram 1) 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. Six screws secure the bottom lip — see Diagram 1. These are
hidden - the outer panels will need to be removed to access them. See
outer panel removal instructions in this manual.
7. This appliance can also be recessed (using combustible materials) with a
hearth in front that can extend to the top. See manual for details.
Combustible material may extend a minimum of 1/2" (13 mm) up
to a maximum of 5-1/4" (133 mm) from the front top (with larger
glass). See mantle clearance chart for details. The base and side
(with smaller glass) have no limit on how far the combustible mate-
rial extends from the appliance. Ensure that no material encroaches
anywhere in the area of the glass as defined by the finishing lip sur-
rounding the appliance.
