Locating Your Electric Fireplace
Your new fireplace may be installed into an existing
masonry or zero clearance fireplace. It may also be
installed using a prefabricated cabinet available from
your dealer or be built into a wall.
When choosing a location for your new fireplace, ensure
that the general instructions are followed. For best effect
install the fireplace out of direct sunlight.

Hearth
A hearth is not mandatory; however, for aesthetic
purposes, it is recommended you use a noncombustible
hearth which does not obstruct louvre opening.
Cold climate installation recommendation:
When installing this unit against a noninsulated exterior wall or chase, it is
mandatory that the outer walls be insulated
to conform to applicable insulation codes.
Cabinet Installations
Cabinets are available from your dealer which allow for
fast, convenient installation of your fireplace against
existing walls.
The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above
the fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel.
This also applies to the distance between the mantel
leg (if fitted) and the fireplace.
For the correct mounting height and widths, refer to
Figures 2a, 2b and the Mantel Chart below.
The distances and reference points are not affected by
the fitting of a bay window front trim kit.
Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at
any height and width around the appliance.
When using paint or lacquer to finish the
mantel, such paint or lacquer must be
heat resistant to prevent discoloration.
