VERTICAL VENTING
42”(1067 mm) High x 36-3/8”(924 mm) Wide x 23-7/8” (607 mm) Deep.
2-1/2” (64 mm) clearance at back to maintain vent system clearance and 1/2” (13 mm) at sides of fireplace must be maintained.
NOTE: Provide adequate clearance in front of fireplace to operate lower grill, open and close optional decorative doors / full door faces,
access components, installation of gas line, fan, etc.
WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT UPPER AND LOWER GRILL OPENINGS. ROOM AIR ENTERS THROUGH LOWER PASSAGE, IS HEATED AND
EXITS THROUGH UPPER PASSAGE. BLOCKING THESE PASSAGES MAY RESULT IN OVERHEATING, CREATING A POTENTIALLY
HAZARDOUS SITUATION.
Illustration at right requires a minimum 5” (127 mm)
