Installation considerations
Match the appliance model, accessory size and attachment arrangement before installation. Do not assume compatibility with a different Tahoe series solely from its nominal size. Install only after the appliance is cool and follow the accessory instructions along with the fireplace installation manual. Preserve the manufacturer clearances, glass sealing, barrier protection and access for maintenance. Installation must comply with the manufacturer documentation and applicable codes.
