FIREPLACE CLEARANCES (ZC)
The fireplace may be placed directly on a combustible
floor, against a combustible wall at marked clear-
ances, or on a raised wooden platform.
If the fireplace is to be installed on a raised wooden
platform, the platform must be a continuous level
surface. The fireplace must be secured in place so it
cannot shift positions. Only the header (see below)
may rest on the standoffs on top of the firebox.
When the firebox is installed over carpeting, vinyl tile,
or any combustible material other than wood flooring,
it must be installed on a metal or wood panel
extending its full width and depth. Alternatively, the
carpeting, vinyl tile, etc. may be removed beneath the
fireplace before installing.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS MUST NOT BE
INSTALLED OVER OR TOUCH ANY BLACK
PAINTED SURFACE. DO NOT BLOCK HEAT
CIRCULATING AIR OUTLETS. DOING SO MAY
RESULT IN POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARDS
.
1. Sidewall Clearances: Clearances from the side
of the fireplace opening to any adjacent
combustible wall should not be less than 7"right
side and 7” left side.
2. Ceiling Clearances: The ceiling height
should not be less than 24" from the top of
the fireplace opening.
This list of specific instructions will help you make certain
that every installation operation is performed correctly.
Complete the installation steps in the sequence shown.
LOCAL BUILDING CODES SHOULD BE CONSULTED IN ALL
CASES AS TO THE PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS
CONCERNING THE INSTALLATION OF FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACES.
Select the location for the fireplace by taking
into consideration the factors previously outlined in the
“Choosing the Location.”
Framing the Firebox
The width of the framed opening must be 33". The height
of the framed opening must be 25 1/8". The entire fireplace
can be elevated above the floor to achieve a raised hearth
effect. This can be done by adding a small platform to
achieve the desired height.
NOTE: The wiring for the lower blower must be installed
during the framing stage. Insulation should be used in the
framing on the back, sides, and top.
Install the Firebox
Install the firebox into the framed opening by placing it
directly in front of the opening and sliding it into the proper
position. Please follow wooden surround instructions.
Level the Firebox
Check the level of the firebox on the top edge of the
fireplace face. Shim if necessary.
