A black hood and trim kit is furnished with each model
VFP(32,36)BP replace. The hood MUST be installed before the
replace is used. Failure to do so may create a possible re hazard.
Attention: The hood is located behind top louver during shipment
of replace. Remove top louver for access to hood.
The trim kit is used to nish the replace. The trim kit is used in
place of brick, marble or other nishing material.
1. To remove top louver, lift louver and pull forward.
2. Open bottom louver.
3. Insert trim side left and trim side right into the replace. Attach
(4) Phillips screws through bottom and top clearance hole on
trim side left and trim side right and into replace.
4. Insert ange on replace hood on the top of the rebox in the
gap between the louver and rebox top.
5. Attach replace hood to replace with (3) Phillips screws. See
Figure 9.
6. Insert the trim top into the top, interior of the replace. Position
the (3) clearance holes in the trim top downward. Align the (3)
clearance holes with the (3) screw holes in the top, interior
of the replace. When the trim top contacts the wall surface
secure the trim top to the replace with (3) Phillips screws.
7. Close bottom louver.
8. Replace top louver
Finishing
All joints (top, bottom and sides), where the wall or decorative facing
material meets the replace surround must be completely sealed
with a non-combustible material.
Hearth extensions are recommended, not a requirement for these
gas replaces.
Do not cover the louvers at any time with nishing materials. This
could cause this product to overheat and cause a re.
Figure 9
In planning the installation for the replace, it is necessary to
determine where the unit is to be installed and whether optional
accessories are desired. Gas supply piping should also be planned
at this time.
The replace can be mounted on any of these surfaces:
1. A at hard combustible or non-combustible surface.
2. A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible material.
3. Four (4) corners of the replace so contact is made on all four
perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.
(Example: Four (4) concrete masonry blocks.)
If the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood ooring, it should be installed
on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the
unit.
At this point, you should have decided what components to include
in your installation, and where the replace is to be located. If this
has not been done, stop and consult your dealer for assistance
with this planning.
