MANTEL CLEARANCES

Because of the extreme heat this ﬁ replace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of front facing

are shown in the diagram below.

Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is made of metal studs covered with a non-combustible

board.

2) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the

rest of the house, apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local installation codes. (Do not insulate the ﬁ replace itself.)

3) The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. The

clearance on top of the unit from the top standoffs is 0" so combustible building materials can be laid directly on top of the standoffs. You must maintain clearances from the vent to combustible materials: See "Clearances" section. Combustible materials can be laid against the side and back standoffs and the stove base.

Note: When installing this ﬁ replace there are two warnings on the

front face of the unit. The areas indicated here are painted black and indicate that no nails, screws, or other punctures can be made at these points as there are sensitive electronic components directly behind these markings.

UNIT ASSEMBLY

PRIOR TO

INSTALLATION

The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly positioned and attached to the top before unit is slipped into position.

INSTALLATION

TOP STANDOFF ASSEMBLY

The top standoffs are shipped in a ﬂ at position and must be folded into shape and attached.

1) Remove the standoffs from the ﬁ replace

top.

2) Take each standoff and bend into the correct

shape. Bend up at the bend lines until the screw holes in the standoff and the prepunched screw holes on the ﬁ replace top line up.

3) Attach the standoff securely to the top

with 2 screws per standoff (on opposite corners).

SIDE NAILING STRIPS

The side nailing strips come attached to the unit. There are 3 plates, one on the top and bottom that can be folded out as required.

Side Nailing Strips shown folded out.

FINISHING TEMPLATE

In order to maintain a clean face; the L900E allows for a 1/8” in overlap of ﬁ nishing material, such as rock or tile, on both the left and right hand sides of the unit (top and bottom sides do not allow for an overlap), this overlap must not be exceeded or the glass door will no longer open properly.

Non-combustible wall board is installed up to the ﬂ anges on all sides of the unit. When installing any additional facing material use the Finishing Template (included with the unit) to ensure that the ﬁ nishing material does not exceed the allowable overlap.

The Finishing Template uses two magnets to attach itself to the ﬂ ange on the left or right side of the unit (see diagram below). Install the facing material up to the outside edge (when facing the unit) of the ﬁ nishing template. This template may be discarded after the facing material has been installed.

INTRODUCTION

The L900E uses the "balanced ﬂ ue" technology Co Axial system. The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the outer liner draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and losing warm room air up the chimney.

Note: These flue pipes must not be

connected to any other appliance.

The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
