Wall Mounted Installation

• Due to many different finish materials used on walls, it is highly recommended that you consult your local builder before you install this fireplace on the wall.
• Select a location that is not prone to moisture and is located at least 36” away from combustible materials such as curtains, drapes, furniture, bedding, or other combustible materials.

Instructions

1. Select a location that is not prone to moisture and is located at least 36” away from combustible materials, such as curtains, drapes, furniture, bedding, paper, etc.
