Decide on positions of the convection vents (openings/grids above the fireplace).
The brickwork must be built up around the appliance. In connection with the appliance
expanding during burning: there must be at least ⅛" (3 mm) clearance on either side of
the appliance. Do not build up the brickwork farther than the angle irons/brackets (keep
in mind the thickness of any plastering!).
Do not use masking tape on the appliance when installing and
plastering. Tape can damage the fi nish of the appliance.
The optional mantel iron is intended for supporting the brickwork above the hearth. The

The brickwork therefore must not rest on the fireplace; there must be approx. ⅛" (3 mm)
clearance in connection with the weight. Put ceramic felt on the top of the mantel iron,
before laying bricks or using other nonfl ammable structural materials.
If using other materials, such as stone or heat-resistant plating, you should follow the
supplier's instructions.

gas tight using soapy water or a leak tester.
