Caution: While a hearth extension is not required and
combustible flooring materials may be brought directly up to
the fireplace, many materials (such as wood flooring) may
not tolerate the radiant heat from this fireplace, resulting in
discoloration, shrinking and cracking. For this reason, we
suggest a non-combustible hearth that is no more than 1”
above the bottom of the fireplace. If thicker, fireplace must
be raised accordingly.
Caution: Hearth extensions thicker than 1” will interfere with
the window frame when opening.

Caution: This fireplace may be recessed up to a maxi-
mum depth of 6". This recess must be constructed from
non combustible material. The space between the outside
framing edge and the firebox must be completely free of
any obstructions or debris and the window, with trim fit-
ted, must be able to move freely. No building material is
permitted to protrude past the framing edges attached to
the fireplace under ANY circumstance.
Town and Country C Series fireplaces include our award
winning Maestro controls.
They include an elegant, programmable remote control
with a count-down timer, weekday/weekend on/off timer,
manual control and thermostat mode (where permitted),
and an easy to read LCD display.
They also come with a small, wall-mounted control which
permits on/off operation, flame modulation and houses
the battery back-up system for operation during power
outages.
Maestro controls use an on-demand electronic ignition
system, a green alternative to standing pilots, which can
cut your annual fuel consumption up to 74%.

NOTE: The vent must not exceed a total length
of 68 feet. Any combination of rise and run may
be used but must be constrained to the bounda-
ries of this chart. A total of three 90° elbows, or
combination of other elbows equalling 90° can
be used without reducing horizontal run. For each
additional 90° elbow, or an equal combination
of elbows, reduce horizontal vent run by 2 feet.
Ensure vent pipe is properly supported.
