Installing with Top Vent Option

Island installation with a top vent is possible as long as the horizontal por-

tion of the vent system does not exceed 10 feet (305cm). When you install

your fireplace as in position 'B', 'D' or 'E', a minimum of 6 inches

(153mm) clearance must be maintained from the perpendicular wall and

the front of the appliance.

Framing Specifications

1. Choose fireplace location and frame in accordance with the fire-

place dimensions specified on page one of this manual. When using

a wide 3.5 in. surround the fireplace must be 1/2" (13mm) ahead of

the wall. Also allowances must be made for drywall tile or any other

facing used around the unit. When using Slim Line Brass surround

or no surround fireplace face maybe built out from the framing

specification using non combustible materials such as brick or

stone, giving a reset appearance.

2. Place fireplace into position and secure to floor with 1 1/2" screws

or nails. Nailing tab located left and right lower side of fireplace.

3. Cold climate installation recommendation: when installing this fire-

place against non-insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recommend-

ed that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insula-

tion codes. Drywall should be installed around the unit to prevent

insulation from contacting the body.

4. Drywall can extend flush with the appliance on the bottom and sides

of the fireplace. A non-combustible material must be used to extend

flush with the top of the fireplace and must have a vertical length

equivalent to the height of the standoffs.

5. If you are installing the top vent unit with a 90˚ bend, the minimum

clearance to combustibles directly above the 90˚ bend is 4"

(102mm).

6. Non-combustible materials such as brick and tile can be extended

across the face of the fireplace. If wide 3.5" brass trim kit is going

to be installed, brick and tile will have to be installed flush with the

front of this appliance. If slim line brass trim kit is used, brick or

tile may extend past the front of unit.
