Framing and Finishing Inset Installations

1. Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material

Note: When constructing the framed opening ensure there is access to install
the gas lines,electrical. Also the wiring harness must be wall mounted using
the receptacle provided with the appliance. The wiring harness will be located
on the right hand side of the appliance if facing the unit 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, apply vapour barrier and plasterboard, as per local installation
codes. (Do not insulate the fireplace itself.)

WARNING:

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.

IMPORTANT:

The interior chase (back and sides) regardless where appliance

is placed within the home also requires the use of plasterboard. All seams/
joints MUST be sealed using plasterboard tape and mud. As this appliance
has been designed with all hot air escaping through the enclosure using
the ventilation grills, if hot air is trapped as a result of the hot air escaping
through joints or other openings within the enclosure, this will change the
clearances within the enclosure causing the enclosure to over heat.

Note that in all applications while there is a zero clearance to combustibles
to the unit, all clearances to combustibles from the venting inside the chase
still applies. Please see venting clearances in the specific product manual.

4. Combustible material (plasterboard,wood,wood panels, etc.) may be brought

up to the appliance (top,bottom and sides)

5. Ensure that the material being used does not encroach anywhere in the

area of the glass. This would cause dangerous operating conditions.

6. This appliance comes with a 13 mm lip at top and bottom to hide the ends

of the plasterboard. The 13 mm side and bottom lip supplied with the ap-
pliance can alternatively be removed (see Diagram 1) and replaced 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 materials being used. 6 screws secure the bottom lip — see Dia-
gram 1. These will be hidden so the outer panels will need to be removed
to access the screws. See outer panel removal in this manual.

7. This appliance can also be recessed (using combustible materials) with

a hearth in front of the appliance. This can also extend to the top. See
manual for details.

Note :

Combustible material may extend a minimum of 13 mm and to a

maximum of 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 regarding how far the combustible material may extend from the
appliance. Ensure that no material encroaches anywhere in the area of the
glass as it is defined by the finishing lip surrounding the appliance.
