MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
The clearances listed below are minimum distances unless otherwise stated.
A major cause of fires is failure to maintain required clearances (air space)
to combustible materials. It is of the greatest importance that this fireplace
be installed only in accordance with these instructions.
Caution Requirements
The top, back and sides of the fireplace are defined by standoffs. The metal
ends of the standoff may NOT be recessed into combustible construction.
WARNING
Fire hazard is an extreme risk if these clearances (air space) to combustible
materials are not adhered to. It is of greatest importance that this fireplace
be installed only in accordance with these instructions.

MANTEL CLEARANCES
Due to the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are
critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of front facing are shown in
the diagram on the right.
Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is “heat
resistant” or the paint may dis color.
NON-COMBUSTIBLE REQUIREMENTS
- A minimum thickness of 12 mm non-combustible board complant with AS1530-1 and AS1530-3 is required.
FINISHING
IMPORTANT FINISHING DETAIL NOTE
Before placing unit into final position – it is important to know the total
thickness / height of finished hearth. The base of the fireplace should be
level or higher than the finished hearth height.
If material such as brick, stone, etc extends past the faceplate depth (38mm),
when finishing around the faceplate, the minimum opening dimensions noted
below must be adhered to ensuring for the removal of the faceplate and for the
safe operation of this appliance.
For material such as brick, stone, etc that extend up to 38mm, the minimum opening dimensions noted below must be adhered, when finishing around the faceplate. This is to ensure the removal of the faceplate and for the safe operation of this appliance.
Unit shown without faceplate
For facing finishing material over 38mm thick use the outer out for your faceplate template.
LOCATING YOUR GAS FIREPLACE

- This appliance must be installed in an open-air situation with natural ventilation, without stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection.
- Certain materials or items, when placed under or near the appliance, will be subjected to radiant heat and could become damaged.
- Typically an outdoor space is not enclosed but, any enclosure in which the appliance is used shall comply with one of the following: An enclosure with walls on all sides, but at least one permanent opening at ground level and no overhead cover.
Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and no more that two walls.
