TOP CLEARANCE
Top clearance post are not installed when you
receive your fireplace. They must be mounted
before installing the unit. Eight machine
screws are already placed on top of the
fireplace where clearance post will go (2
screws per spacer). Please see the following
illustrations.

FACING MATERIALS
CAUTION:
Remote wiring (wall switch) must be before the facing materials to avoid costly
reconstruction.
CAUTION:
The appliance must not be completely enclosed in an alcove. Clearance above the top of the
fireplace is 0 in. from the top clearance post. This means that combustible building materials
can rest directly on top of the upper mounts.
You must leave a 3 in. clearance between the first 8 ft. of vent and combustible materials
(unless protected by a firewall). The rest of the vent requires a clearance of 1 in.
CAUTION:
Never obstruct the air duct inlet or outlet. This could pose a risk of overheating, which could
lead to a fire.
Only non-combustible materials (brick, slate tile, steel or other non-combustible materials allowed by local
standards) can be used to cover the appliance's non-removable/fixed surfaces.
