Installation & Operating Instructions
Locating the Fireplace
Figure 3 shows some of the many ways your fireplace
may be installed. Consider the traffic pattern in your
room and the location of doors and windows. Moving
air from ceiling fans, open doors and hot air grilles may
cause the flames to soot. If a disturbance is found that
affects the flames, it must be eliminated by turning off
the ceiling fan, closing the door or closing/moving the
hot air register. A corner location may be best where
space is limited.
Your fireplace weighs no more than some of your fine
furniture. If the fireplace is located near a load bearing
wall, additional supports to the foundation will not be
necessary.
NOTE: Heavy facings such as brick, stone, etc., may
require additional foundation support.
NOTE: Although this unit may be installed on
combustible surfaces, it must not be installed on
carpet or vinyl.
The clearances to sidewalls and ceiling that are shown
in Figures 6a and 6b must be considered when choos-
ing the location for the fireplace.

Gas Line
The gas line must be installed by a licensed gas line
installer before framing in the fireplace.
Drafts
Do not locate the fireplace in high traffic areas or areas
exposed to high drafts and winds. Locate the fireplace
away from furniture and draperies.
Framing Clearances
The fireplace may be placed directly on a combustible
floor, against a combustible wall at marked clearances
or on a raised wooden platform.
If the fireplace is to be installed on a raised wooden
platform, the platform must be a continuous level
surface.
The fireplace must be secured in place so it cannot shift
positions. The nailing flanges on the sides of the
firebox make securing it to the framing easy. They
were designed to allow the installation of 1/2" wallboard
or plywood flush with the face of the fireplace.
Only the header (Fig. 4) may rest on the standoffs on
top of the firebox. Framing must rest on top of stand-
offs.
