WITH (2) SCREWS

PROVIDED.

POWER TO JUNCTION BOX

SECURE FIREPLACE WITH

(4) SCREWS (2 PER BRACKET)

To begin, remove the glass door by releasing the 2 spring latches

at the top, and 2 spring latches at the bottom of the door frame.

Check to make sure there is no hidden damage to the unit. Take

a moment to plan out the gas, venting and electrical route. It is

best to start with the gas line rst, followed by the vent system and

electrical supply requirements.

Attention: If installing the optional FBB8 Blower Kit, it is recom-

mended that it be installed in the replace before completing in-

stallation of the replace.

This replace requires no hearth extension. Combustible material

on the oor may be installed up to the replace.

Install the replace without the Surround panels attached and

make all gas, venting and electrical connections.

To complete the installation, install the Surround panel assembly.

Refer to the instructions included with the surround panel kit to

install properly.

FramingandFinishing

1. Choose unit location.

2. Frame out opening for replace as shown in Figures 2 through

5 and install nished wall surface over framing prior to setting

replace into opening and securing unit.

3. The replace should be installed on a metal or wood panel

extending the full width and depth of the appliance. The verti-

cal dimensions in Figure 2 must be adjusted when a metal or

wood panel is placed beneath the appliance.

4. Install the side Framing brackets (1 per side) using the pi-

lot holes provided behind the side anges on the replace

outer wrap. Two setback locations are provided for locating

the framing brackets. See Figure 9. The pilot holes in the for-

ward position should be used if installing the replace after

the nished wall surface is present. The rearward hole po-

sition should be used to install teh replace directly to the

framed opening, prior to installing the nish wall surface.

The framing bracket locations are based on using 1/2” thick

surface nishing materials over the framing. See Figure 9.

Note: If installing the framing brackets over the nished face

wall surface, be sure you leave access for installing the vent-

ing components at the sides or rear of the framed out struc-

ture.

5. Secure unit to wall opening with common screw type fasten-

ers. See Figures 5 and 9.

6. Maintain combustible clearances as shown by Figures 2

through 5.

7. Prior to installing the Fireplace, hand bend the two (2) Top

Framing Spacers into triangles as shown in Figure 10. To at-

tach the outer leg of the standoffs, remove one (1) screw from

the front of the outer top ange of the replace, then re-instal

the same screw through the tab of the top standoff spacers

into the outer top to secure. See Figure 10.

Note: A combustible header may rest on top of the top stand-

off spacers. Screws may be installed through the top of the

standoff spacers and into the header to add stability of the

spacer if desired.

8. Non-combustible headers may be used above the replace

to maintain structural integrity, providing sufcient backing for

non-combustible nishing materials.

9. Because of the close proximity of the vent system to the head-

er framing, it is recommended that a combustible header be

turned upright to provide the 1” minimum clearance required

to vent pipe. See Page 7, Figure 2.
