[Preparation – Curved Fireplaces
[ PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATIONS
A round fireplace can be installed with a cone or flat top. When a cone is installed, it must be
installed BEFORE installation of the fireplace begins (according to the installation instructions
on page 25 and depending upon the model of the selected cone.
[ VENT PIPE AND CONE INSTALLATION
First install the vent pipe cone (see the relevant manual for your type of cone).
Thread the vent pipe inside the cone to the required length.
When the installation is complete, verify that the distance between the bottom of the cone and the floor is approximately 860mm (33 3/4 “).
NOTE: For all round fireplace models, the cone is must be suspended from the ceiling and NOT resting on the fireplace.
[ GAS & ELECTRICITY SOURCE
Provide gas and electricity according to local code.
Electrical source – For fireplaces with double glass and blowers, you will need to connect the unit to a 110V/220V outlet.
NOTE: This manual describes the installation of the vent pipe cone and the fireplace assembly. Explanations regarding gas and vent
pipe installation are described in a separate Installation & Operation Manual.
