Window Frame Removal
Fig. #5a
LATCH HANDLE
Warning: Turn off the replace, and allow ample time for the unit to cool before proceeding.
Caution: The ceramic glass is very fragile, and should be handled with care.
The window frame is held in place by two spring-loaded latches that are operated by a one-piece latch handle.
1. Remove the TC Finishing Touch Trim Kit from the window frame. (If installed)
2. Using a screwdriver or other similar object, push against the notch in the top of the latch and grab the bottom of the latch handle as it protrudes. Lift handle until latch hook disengages. Repeat for other side while holding glass so it does not tip out.
3. Tilt the top of the window frame out to clear the top edge of the unit. Grasp the sides of the frame and lift up and out to disengage from its bottom track.
4. Place the window frame in a safe place to avoid damage.
5. Re-assemble in reverse order. Latch handle should snap into place and be ush with
window frame when engaged correctly.
TIP: To ensure glass is properly latched, grasp the top left and
right sides of the glass frame, under moderate pressure it should pull forward and return to original position evenly on both sides.
6. Reinstall Trim Kit if required.

Locating The Fireplace
Fig. #6
TOP STANDOFFS
In planning the installation for the replace, it is necessary to determine where the unit is to be installed, location of vent system and where gas supply piping may be plumbed. Various installations are possible, such as, into an existing wall, a corner, a built-in wall or a wall projection (Fig #7). Due to high temperatures, do not locate this replace in areas of high traffic or near furniture or draperies.
The minimum clearances from the replace to combustible surfaces must be adhered to and are shown in Fig #2 and Fig #3.

Framing and Finishing
Note: The replace should be in place and venting installed before framing in or building an enclosure around the unit.
The Town & Country replace must be framed in as described below or totally en­closed with non-combustible material, such as facing brick.
Determine the total thickness of facing material to be used. A thickness of 3/4" will allow the nishing surface to be ush with the front of the unit. If preferred, additional masonry type non-combustible material can be installed above and to the sides up to 6 inches proud of the appliance.
The nishing material must not interfere with glass frame access.
A Steel Stud Framing Kit is supplied with the
replace and must be used unless the replace is totally enclosed with
non-combustible material. Assemble the framing kit as per the instructions on pages 10 & 11 of this manual. Attach the steel frame to the replace once the replace is in its nal
position. Secure the steel frame to the framing brackets on each side of the unit. Ensure that the studs are set back far enough to allow for thickness of nishing surface.
The sides, back and top of the replace can be framed in up to the steel studs and the replace standoffs using conventional lumber. Consult local building codes for specic requirements.
Due to high temperatures, non-combustible backer board, such as cement board or its equivalent, must be used to sheet in the front of the replace, extending 12" above and 5 9/16" to the side of the framing edge bars. (Fig #9) Standard sheet rock (dry wall) may be used beyond this.
If the backer board is not to be nished with other non-combustible material such as tiles, it is recommended that top sections of the board be a single sheet of calcium silicate board or its equivalent. Taped and mudded joints may crack due to the elevated temperatures.
Chase Insulation: When installing this replace against a non-insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recommended that the outer walls be insulated to same degree as other exterior walls. Do not place replace directly against the insulation. Cover the insulation and plastic vapour barrier with a solid surface, such as dry wall (sheet rock). Consult local codes. Do not insulate or use plastic vapour barrier within the framing kit.
CAUTION: SEE FIGURE #9a BEFORE PROCEEDING.
NOTE:
The chase must be properly sealed at the ceiling level or between oors in a multilevel
installation.

FRAME
This replace may be recessed up to a maximum depth of 6”, this recess must be constructed from non combustible material. The space between the outside framing edge and the rebox must be completely free of any obstructions or debris and the window, with trim tted, must be able to move freely. No building material is permitted to protrude past the framing edges attached to the replace under ANY circumstance.
HEARTH
EXTENSION
Caution: While a hearth extension is not required and combustible ooring materials may be brought directly up to the replace, many materials (such as wood ooring) may not tolerate the radiant heat from this replace, resulting in discoloration, shrinking and cracking. For this reason, we suggest a non-combustible hearth that is no more than 1” above the bottom of the replace. If thicker, replaced must be raised accordingly.
Caution: Hearth extensions thicker than 1” will interfere with the window frame when opening.
