To begin, remove the glass door by releasing the 2 spring latches
at the top, and 2 spring latches at the bottom of the door frame.
Check to make sure there is no hidden damage to the unit. Take
a moment to plan out the gas, venting and electrical route. It is
best to start with the gas line first, followed by the vent system and
electrical supply requirements.
Attention: If installing the optional FBB8 Blower Kit, it is recom-
mended that it be installed in the fireplace before completing in-
stallation of the fireplace.
This fireplace requires no hearth extension. Combustible material
on the floor may be installed up to the fireplace.
Install the fireplace without the Surround panels attached and
make all gas, venting and electrical connections.
To complete the installation, install the Surround panel assembly.
Refer to the instructions included with the surround panel kit to
install properly.
Framing and Finishing
1.
Choose unit location.
2.
Frame out opening for fireplace as shown in Figures 2 through
5 and install finished wall surface over framing prior to setting
fireplace into opening and securing unit.
3.
The fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth of the appliance. The verti-
cal dimensions in Figure 2 must be adjusted when a metal or
wood panel is placed beneath the appliance.
4.
Install the side Framing brackets (1 per side) using the pi-
lot holes provided behind the side flanges on the fireplace
outer wrap. Two setback locations are provided for locating
the framing brackets. See Figure 9. The pilot holes in the for-
ward position should be used if installing the fireplace after
the finished wall surface is present. The rearward hole po-
sition should be used to install teh fireplace directly to the
framed opening, prior to installing the finish wall surface.
The framing bracket locations are based on using 1/2" thick
surface finishing materials over the framing. See Figure 9.
Note: If installing the framing brackets over the finished face
wall surface, be sure you leave access for installing the vent-
ing components at the sides or rear of the framed out struc-
ture.
5.
Secure unit to wall opening with common screw type fasten-
ers. See Figures 5 and 9.
6.
Maintain combustible clearances as shown by Figures 2
through 5.
7.
Prior to installing the Fireplace, hand bend the two (2) Top
Framing Spacers into triangles as shown in Figure 10. To at-
tach the outer leg of the standoffs, remove one (1) screw from
the front of the outer top flange of the fireplace, then re-instal
the same screw through the tab of the top standoff spacers
into the outer top to secure. See Figure 10.
Note: A combustible header may rest on top of the top stand-
off spacers. Screws may be installed through the top of the
standoff spacers and into the header to add stability of the
spacer if desired.
8.
Non-combustible headers may be used above the fireplace
to maintain structural integrity, providing sufficient backing for
non-combustible finishing materials.
9.
Because of the close proximity of the vent system to the head-
er framing, it is recommended that a combustible header be
turned upright to provide the 1" minimum clearance required
to vent pipe. See Page 7, Figure 2.
