R - Value Statement
It has been determined that the Town and Country model TCWS.54STOK indoor/outdoor Fireplace has an R value of 5.8.
This determination has been arrived at by the calculation of the typical R value of two layers of 5mm Ceramic glass, combined with
17 inches of ventilated air gap. The one layer of 5mm tempered glass has been ignored in the calculation due to it being open to the
exterior air environment on both sides. Real world results may vary due to environmental factors.
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
hazardous.
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.

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).
2. Remove the TC Finishing Touch Trim Kit from the window frame. (If installed)
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.
LATCH HANDLE
Fig. #7
TCWS54STOK_061115-56
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.

Locating The Fireplace
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
types of installations are possible, such as, a peninsula wall, an island, and between two
interior walls (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.
When the appliance is installed directly on
carpeting, tile or other combustible
material, other than wood ooring, the
appliance shall be installed on a metal or
wood panel extending the full width and
depth of the appliance.
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 forward 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. The framing kit
comes fully assembled and the outdoor
section of the replace come fully insulated.
The sides and top of the replace are
framed in up to the steel studs 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 #14) 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 #14a BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
NOTE:
The chase must be properly
sealed at the ceiling level or
between oors in a multilevel
installation.
