Caution
FOR YOUR SAFETY - Do not install or operate your Town & Country replace without rst
reading and understanding this manual. Any installation or operational deviation from the following instructions voids the Town & Country Fireplaces
This appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa).
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Note: When lit for the rst time, the appliance will emit a slight odour for a couple of hours.
This is due to the curing of paints, sealants and lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
This condition is temporary. Open doors and windows to ventilate area. Smoke and fumes
caused by the curing process may cause discomfort to some individuals.
Do not use the replace if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualied service
technician to inspect the replace and to replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.

Installation Requirements
The Town & Country Fireplace installation and venting must conform to the current
CAN/CGA-B149 installation code (in Canada) or the current National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 (in the USA), and approved per local codes. Only qualied (licensed or
trained) personnel should install this product.
In the state of Massachusetts, only a licensed Plumber and Gas Fitter may install
this product.

Manufactured (Mobile) Home
In some jurisdictions, the Town & Country Fireplace may be installed in Manufactured Homes
after the "rst sale". Consult local codes for approval. The replace must be fastened
in place.
Install in accordance with the current standard Mobile Homes, CAN/CSA Z240 MH (in
CANADA), and the Manufacturer's Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24
CFR, Part 3280 or the current Standard for Fire Safety Criteria for Manufactured Home
Installations, Sites and Communities ANSI/NFPA 501A (in the USA).
Window Frame Removal
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 safety barrier screen (Fig #4) by prying the top portion of the screen toward
you, then lift the screen from its tabs (inset) located at the base of the window frame.
2. Remove the TC Finishing Touch Trim Kit from the window frame. (If installed)
LATCH HANDLE
Fig. #7
3. Using a screwdriver (Fig #5) 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 (Fig #6). Lift
handle until latch hook disengages. Repeat for other side while holding glass so it
does not tip out.
4. 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.
5. Place the window frame in a safe place to avoid damage.
6. Re-assemble in reverse order. Latch handle should snap into place and be ush with
window frame when engaged correctly.
7. Reinstall Trim Kit if required.
8. Reinstall safety barrier screen.
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.

Standoffs
Fig. #8
TOP STANDOFFS
Locating The Fireplace
The standoffs are shipped loose
inside the replace and must be
installed on the top and the side of
the replace as shown in Fig. #8.
Do this once the replace is on
site and in position.
HANDLE

BOX
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. #9). 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 or movement.
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 #11) 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 #11a BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
NOTE:
The chase must be properly
sealed at the ceiling level or
between oors in a multilevel
installation.

Frame Assembly
1. On a at surface, place 1 upper/lower stud (#4)
horizontally. This will become the
top-most horizontal stud. Stand all pieces up on
their narrow ends throughout assembly.
2. Place 2 center studs (#6) perpendicular to, and
below the above upper/lower stud. Using the
screw holes on the upper/lower stud as a guide,
place each center stud aprox 8” on either side of
the upper/lower stud center point so that they are
in-line with the screw holes.
3. Use wafer screws (1) to join the upper/lower stud
(4) and the center studs (6) together.
4. Position Inner Cross Brace (5) horizontally along
the bottom ends of the 2 center studs (6) and fasten with wafer screws to the center-most 2 positions along the cross brace.
6. Position the Lower Cross Brace (7) between the
two side studs and about 6” from the lower ends
of the side studs. Attach each end of the lower
cross brace to the side studs with wafer screws.
7. Attach the remaining upper/lower stud (4) at the
bottom of, and perpendicular to the side studs.
8. Place and attach the two Outer Side studs (3) tab side out - at each end of both the top upper/
lower stud and bottom upper/lower stud and attach with wafer screws.
9. Once the top side of the frame is complete, turn
it over so that the wafer screws can be used to
fasten the other side of the frame.
5. Position Side Studs (2) at each end of the assembled frame so that the side studs are perpendicular to the upper/lower stud and inner cross brace.
Use wafer screws to fasten the side studs to the
assembled frame.
