Technical notes

Burn only the fuel and operate the door/damper in the manner prescribed in the owner's manual. Installation and chimney design require a qualified professional. Keep specified air spaces clear; framing sizes are not clearance dimensions. Mantel depth, sidewalls and hearth height affect permitted placement.

The current installation drawing specifies a 42-inch-wide opening for the 42 model; it takes precedence over the repeated 36-inch dimension on the marketing page.
