SECTION II
ZERO CLEARANCE INSTALLATION
The installation must conform with local codes ,or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54.
This appliance may be installed in an After-Market* Manufactured (Mobile) Home, where not prohibited by state or local codes.
* (After Market: Completion of sale, not for the purpose of resale from the manufacturer).
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases.
NOTE: See “Producing Adequate Ventilation” page 14.
CHOOSING THE LOCATION FOR YOUR FIREPLACE:
Figure 1 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 grills 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 or 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. HEAVY FACINGS, SUCH AS BRICK, STONE, ETC., MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FOUNDATION SUPPORT.
NOTE: If this appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material, other than wood flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance.
GAS LINE
The gas supply line and electrical supply must be installed before framing in the fireplace by a licensed installer.
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.

WARNING: Installation and repairs should be performed by a qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
Page 7
FIREPLACE 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 (see Figure 2) may rest on the standoffs on top of the firebox.
When the firebox is installed over carpeting, vinyl tile, or
any combustible material other than wood flooring, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending its full width and depth. Alternatively, the carpeting, vinyl tile, etc. may be removed beneath the fireplace before installing.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS MUST NOT BE INSTALLED OVER OR TOUCH ANY BLACK PAINTED SURFACE. DO NOT BLOCK HEAT CIRCULATING AIR OUTLETS. DOING
SO MAY RESULT IN POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARDS.
1. Sidewall Clearances: Clearances from the side of the fireplace opening to any adjacent combustible wall should not be less than 7"right side, 7” left side.
2. Ceiling Clearances: The ceiling height should not be less than 42" from the top of the fireplace opening.
INSTALLING THE FIREBOX
This list of specific instructions will help you make certain that every installation operation is performed correctly. Complete the installation steps in the sequence shown.
LOCAL BUILDING CODES SHOULD BE CONSULTED IN ALL CASES AS TO THE PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING THE INSTALLATION OF FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES. Select the location for the fireplace by taking into consideration the factors previously outlined in the “Choosing the Location.” See page 6.
Framing the Firebox
The width of the framed opening must be 31 7/8". The height of the framed opening must be 32 3/16". The entire fireplace can be elevated above the floor to achieve a raised hearth effect. This can be done by adding a small platform to achieve the desired height.
NOTE: The wiring for the lower blower must be installed during the framing stage. The nailing flanges on both sides were designed to allow the installation of 1/2" wallboard or plywood flush with the face of the fireplace.
When the framing is inside, the outside wall will be insulated. If the framing or chase is outside, thin insulation should be used in the framing on the back, sides, and top. The bottom should be insulated with a hard insulating board. This will prevent cold from going into the chase through the fireplace to the living space.
Install the Firebox
Install the firebox into the framed opening by placing it directly in front of the opening and sliding it into the proper position.
Level the Firebox
Check the level of the firebox on the top edge of the fireplace face. Shim if necessary.
Secure the Firebox
Secure the fireplace to the framing. The nailing flanges on the firebox will make securing the firebox to the frame quick and easy. Use appropriate size nails or screws to secure the firebox.

FINISHING YOUR FIREPLACE
There is a wide variety of finishing material available for your fireplace from formal wall treatments with marble and mantels, to rustic wood paneling, stone or brick. Noncombustible materials used in this installation such as slate, tile, marble, etc. must be at least 1/2" thick.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE BLACK FACE OF THE FIREPLACE NOT BE COVERED WITH ANY TYPE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.
Non-combustible facing materials such as marble, brick, or ceramic tile may overlap the black face of the fireplace up to the opening on either side of the fireplace. Seal all joints between the black fireplace face and the wall covering with a heat-resistant material such as rock, wool, insulation or mortar. Be sure to use high temperature adhesive or mortar when anchoring brick, stone, or tile to the face of the fireplace. Check to see whether man-made
brick and stone are made of non combustible materials before using them on the face of the fireplace. Some of these products contain combustible materials. Combustible wall coverings such as paneling or wallboard may not overlap the black face of the fireplace. The space between the wall covering and the fireplace should be sealed with a heat resistant material such as rock, wool, insulation or mortar.
NOTE: An “L” shaped steel lintel must be installed across the top of the firebox opening where facing materials such as brick or stone is used on the face of the firebox. It acts as a support/firestop. It should be attached to the face of the fireplace with screws and sealed to the fireplace with a heat-resistant sealer.
CLEARANCES
To ensure a safe installation, the following must be carefully observed.
1.Sidewall Clearances: Clearances from the side of the fireplace opening to any adjacent combustible wall should not be less than 7"right side, 7” left side. See Figure 4.
2.Ceiling Clearances: The ceiling height should not be less than 42" from the top of the fireplace opening.
3. Mantel Clearances: We have provided 3 different situations to position your mantel. See Figure 5.
4.Floor Clearances: No clearance is required if the appliance is installed per these instructions.
5. Front Clearances: 24” to combustible Materials.
