A) PREPARE THE FIREPLACE
1. REMOVE THE GLASS ASSEMBLY.
See Figure 2.
A. Locate the spring-loaded latch handles securing
the glass assembly (under the firebox).
B. Pull the handles out, then down to release the
glass assembly.
C. Pull the bottom of the glass assembly out and lift
up off the tabs (at the top).
D. Set aside where it will not be broken.
E. Remove the log package from the firebox and
set aside.
Figure 2
B) DETERMINE LOCATION
1. Determine the exact position of your fireplace.
If possible, place the fireplace in such a manner that the venting will be placed between
two studs so additional framing is not necessary. Determine the width, depth and height
of the (optional) hearth.
2. This fireplace may be installed on either the
outside or inside of an exterior wall. See Figure 3, page #7 for various installation options.
The location of doors, windows, soffits/
overhangs, etc. must be considered in relation
to where the vent termination cap will be located. Refer to page #11
All clearances to combustible requirements
must be maintained. Follow the clearance
requirements on page #5.
3. If the optional heat ducts are used, their location
must be considered in relation to the fireplace.
The heat ducts may be vented into the same room as
the fireplace or may be vented to other rooms. A
maximum run of 20 ft. for each duct is recommended.
Venting should be completed before framing the unit
In.
Refer to instructions included in the #970 duct kit for
complete installation requirements.
4. If using the optional fan kit, 110V-120V wiring should
be run to the lower left of the fireplace by a qualified
technician. A removable electrical access panel with
romex connector is located on the left side of the fireplace. The wiring should be run prior to enclosing the
sides of the unit.
CAUTION: COLD AIR TRANSFER AREA. THE SURROUNDING WOOD CHASE OF THE OUTSIDE WALL MUST
BE INSULATED TO PREVENT COLD AIR FROM ENTERING THE ROOM.
NOTE: Due to high temperatures, this unit should be located out of traffic areas and away from furniture and
draperies

5. Cut a hole for the firestop, 9 1/2" x 9 1/2".
The top of this hole must be a minimum of:
- 42 1/2" * (A)
above the height of the hearth (hearth is optional).
See Figure 4A.
*Important: This measurement is determined by
the vertical height and horizontal length of the
venting application desired. The measurement is
to the top of the pipe. Please refer to pages #6 #11 of this installation manual for requirements
and restrictions.

Build an optional hearth to the desired size
and height. See Figure 4B
DESIRED HEARTH HEIGHT
NOTE: When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible materials other than wood flooring, it must be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the unit. The minimum for the support platform under the
unit is: 18 1/4" deep by 32" wide. If masonry is to be used (optional), prepare the necessary foundation for the masonry load. When
masonry construction is being used, a lintel must be used over the top of the unit to support the added weight.
NOTE: A non-combustible hearth extension is not required. If a hearth extension is desired, combustible materials
may be used.
NOTE: Provide for a minimum of 6" of clearance in front of the lower grill. This will provide adequate space to open the
lower grill and operate the controls.
Do not obstruct the upper and lower grill areas to allow proper ventilation air around the fireplace. Air enters the unit at
the lower grill, and exits at the upper grill. Blocking these passages may result in overheating the fireplace creating a
potentially hazardous situation.
7. Place the fireplace into position.
