WARNING
RISK OF FIRE!
IN ORDER TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPOSED INSULATION OR VAPOUR BARRIER COMING
IN CONTACT WITH THE APPLIANCE BODY, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE WALLS OF THE
APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE BE “FINISHED” (IE: DRYWALL / SHEETROCK), AS YOU WOULD FINISH
ANY OTHER OUTSIDE WALL OF A HOME. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT CLEARANCE TO
COMBUSTIBLES IS MAINTAINED WITHIN THE CAVITY.
DO NOT NOTCH THE FRAMING AROUND THE APPLIANCE STAND-OFFS. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN
AIR SPACE CLEARANCE MAY CAUSE OVER HEATING AND FIRE. PREVENT CONTACT WITH
SAGGING OR LOOSE INSULATION OR FRAMING AND OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. BLOCK
OPENING INTO THE CHASE TO PREVENT ENTRY OF BLOWN-IN INSULATION. MAKE SURE
INSULATION AND OTHER MATERIALS ARE SECURED.
WHEN CONSTRUCTING THE ENCLOSURE ALLOW FOR FINISHING MATERIAL THICKNESS TO
MAINTAIN CLEARANCES. FRAMING OR FINISHING MATERIAL CLOSER THAN THE MINIMUMS
LISTED MUST BE CONSTRUCTED ENTIRELY OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. MATERIALS
CONSISTING ENTIRELY OF STEEL, IRON, BRICK, TILE, CONCRETE, SLATE, GLASS OR PLASTERS,
OR ANY COMBINATION THEREOF ARE SUITABLE. MATERIALS THAT ARE REPORTED AS PASSING
ASTM E 136, STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR BEHAVIOUR OF MATERIALS IN A VERTICAL TUBE
FURNACE AT 1382° F (750°C) AND UL763 SHALL BE CONSIDERED NON-COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES MUST BE MAINTAINED OR A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD
COULD RESULT.
THE APPLIANCE REQUIRES A MINIMUM ENCLOSURE HEIGHT. MEASURE FROM THE APPLIANCE
BASE.
IF STEEL STUD FRAMING KITS WITH CEMENT BOARD ARE PROVIDED, OR SPECIFIED IN THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. THEY MUST BE INSTALLED.
FINISHING MUST BE DONE USING A NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL PLACED FLUSH WITH THE
FRONT FACE OF THE UNIT AND EXTENDING FROM THE TOP OF THE UNIT SUCH AS
CEMENT BOARD, CERAMIC TILE, MARBLE, ETC. DO NOT USE WOOD OR DRYWALL.
ANY FIRE RATED DRYWALL IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

It is best to frame your appliance after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Frame to local building
codes.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this appliance.
When roughing in the appliance, raise the appliance to accommodate for the thickness of the fi nished fl oor
materials, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with the opening of the lower
access door and the installation of many decorative fl ashing accessories.
Combustible materials may be installed fl ush with the front of the appliance but must not cover any of the black
face-areas of the appliance. Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.
