WARNING
!
• Ensure to unpack all loose materials from inside the fi rebox prior to connecting the gas and electrical supply
• If your appliance is supplied with a remote, ensure the remote receiver is in the "OFF" position prior
to connecting the gas and electrical supply to the appliance.
• For safe and proper operation of the appliance, follow the venting instructions exactly.
• The appliance exhaust fl ue collar must be sealed using Mill Pac. All exhaust and intake vent pipe joints
must be sealed using red RTV high temp silicone sealant (W573-0002) (not supplied) or black high temp Mill
Pac (W573-0007) (not supplied).
• If using pipe clamps to connect rigid vent components, a minimum of 3 screws must also be used to ensure
the connection cannot slip off.
• Do not clamp the fl exible vent pipe.
• Risk of fi re, explosion, or asphyxiation. Improper support of the entire venting system may allow vent to sag
and separate. Use vent run supports and connect vent sections per installation instructions.
• Risk of fi re, do not allow loose materials or insulation to touch the vent pipe. Remove insulation to allow for the
installation of the attic shield and to maintain clearances to combustibles.
• Do not fi ll the space between the vent pipe and enclosure with any type of material. Do not pack insulation
or combustibles between ceiling fi restops. Always maintain specifi ed clearances around venting and fi restop
systems. Install wall shields and fi restops as specifi ed. Failure to keep insulation or other materials away from
vent pipe may cause fi re.
note:
When using optional fi nishing accessories, the framing dimensions and fi nishing materials may differ from
what is outlined in the section below; refer to the leafl et instructions supplied in the accessory kit for specifi c
framing and fi nishing specifi cations.
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" (i.e. 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 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 E136, standard test method for behaviour of materials in a vertical tube furnace at 1382ºF
(750ºC) and UL763 shall be considered non-combustible materials.
• Minimum clearance to combusibles 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.
• If specified in the installation instruction, finishing must be done using a non-combustible board, ceramic tile,
marble, etc. Do NOT use wood or drywall. Any fire rated drywall is not acceptable.
