DANGER

A barrier designed to reduce the risk of burns from the

hot viewing glass is provided with the appliance and

shall be installed for the protection of children and

other at-risk individuals.

FOR YOUR SAFETY - Do not install or operate your Town & Country replace

without rst reading and understanding this manual. Any installation or

operational deviation from the following instructions voids the Town & Country

FireplacesTM Warranty and may prove hazardous.

This appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from

Minimum Clearances to Combustible Material

The Town & Country Fireplace installation and venting must conform to the current CAN/CGA-B149 installation code (in

Canada) or the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (in the USA), and approved per local codes. Only qualied

(licensed or trained) personnel should install this product.

In the state of Massachusetts, only a licensed Plumber and Gas Fitter may install this product.

In some jurisdictions, the Town & Country Fireplace may be installed in Manufactured Homes after the "rst sale". Consult

local codes for approval. The replace must be fastened in place.

Install in accordance with the current standard Mobile Homes, CAN/CSA Z240 MH (in CANADA), and the Manufacturer's

Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 or the current Standard for Fire Safety Criteria for

Manufactured Home Installations, Sites and Communities ANSI/NFPA 501A (in the USA).

Warning: Turn off the ﬁreplace, and allow ample time for the unit to cool before proceeding.

Caution: The ceramic glass is very fragile, and should be handled with care.

The glass door frame is held in place by two spring-loaded latches that are operated by a one-piece latch handle.

1. Remove safety barrier screen (Figure 5) by prying the top portion of the screen toward you, then lift the screen from

its tabs (inset) located at the base of the window frame.

2. Remove the TC Finishing Touch Trim Kit from the glass door frame. (If installed)

3. Using a screwdriver (Figure 6) or other similar object, push against the notch in the top of the latch and grab the bot-

tom of the latch handle as it protrudes (Figure 7). Lift handle until latch hook disengages. Repeat for other side while

holding glass door so that it does not tip out.

4. Tilt the top of the glass door frame out to clear the top edge of the unit. Grasp the sides of the frame and lift up and

out to disengage from its bottom track.

5. Place the glass door frame in a safe place to avoid damage.

6. Reassemble in reverse order. Latch handle should snap into place and be ush with glass door frame when engaged

correctly.

7. Reinstall trim kit if required.

8. Reinstall safety barrier screen.

TIP:

To ensure glass door is

properly latched, grasp the

top left and right sides of the

glass frame. Under moderate

pressure it should pull forward

and return to original position

evenly on both sides.

Door Frame Removal

The top standoffs are shipped loose inside the replace and must be installed on top of the replace (Figure 8).

Do this once the replace is in position.

In planning the installation for the replace, it is necessary to determine where the unit is to be installed, location of vent

system and where gas supply piping may be plumbed. Various installations are possible, such as, into an existing wall, a

corner, a built-in wall or a wall projection (Figure 9). Due to high temperatures, do not locate this replace in areas of high

traffic or near furniture or draperies.

The minimum clearances from the ﬁreplace to combustible surfaces must be adhered to and are shown in Figure 3 & Figure 4.

Locating The Fireplace

Note: The ﬁreplace should be in place

and venting installed before framing

in or building an enclosure around the

unit.

The Town & Country replace must be

framed in as described below or totally

enclosed with non-combustible material,

such as facing brick.

Determine the total thickness of facing

material to be used. A thickness of 3/4"

will allow the nishing surface to be ush

with the front of the unit. If preferred,

additional masonry type non-combustible

material can be installed above and to the

sides outward up to 4 1/2 inches of the

appliance. The nishing material must not

interfere with glass door frame access.

A Steel Stud Framing Kit is supplied with

the replace and must be used unless the

replace is totally enclosed with

non-combustible material. Assemble the

framing kit as per the instructions on

pages 12 & 13 of this manual. Attach

the steel frame to the replace once the

replace is in its nal position. Secure the

steel frame to the framing brackets on

each side of the unit. Ensure that the studs

are set back far enough to allow for thick-

ness of nishing surface.

The sides, back and top of the replace

can be framed in up to the steel studs and

the replace standoffs using conventional

lumber. Consult local building codes for

specic requirements.

Due to high temperatures, non-combusti-

ble backing board, such as cement board

or its equivalent, must be used to sheet

in the front of the replace, extending 12"

above and 5 9/16" to the side of the fram-

ing edge bars (Figure 14). Standard sheet

rock (dry wall) may be used beyond this

point.

If the backing board is not to be nished

with other non-combustible material such

as tiles, it is recommended that top sec-

tions of the board be a single sheet of

calcium silicate board or its equivalent.

Taped and mudded joints may crack due

to the elevated temperatures.

Chase Insulation: When installing this

ﬁreplace against a non-insulated exte-

rior wall or chase, it is recommended

that the outer walls be insulated to

same degree as other exterior walls.

Do not place ﬁreplace directly against

the insulation. Cover the insulation

and plastic vapour barrier with a solid

surface, such as dry wall (sheet rock).

Consult local codes. Do not insulate

or use plastic vapour barrier within the

framing kit.

CAUTION: See Figure 16 BEFORE

PROCEEDING.
