OR CHIMNEY AND AIR SPACES
ARE BLOCKED PREVENTING THE
FREE MOVEMENT OF COOLING
AIR.
STEP 1 - Positioning the Fireplace.
This fireplace may be placed on either a combustible
or non-combustible continuous surface. Follow the
instructions for framing on page 9. Be sure to pro-
vide the minimum 1" air clearance at the sides and
back of the firebox assembly. Framing that is per-
pendicular to the fireplace front may contact the side
of the firebox assembly at the nailing flanges.
Slide the metal strips two inches under the front edge
of the fireplace with the 2 pieces overlapping other in
the middle of the fireplace to provide continuous cov-
erage of the floor. See Figure 10.
STEP 3 - Leveling the Fireplace.
Level the fireplace side-to-side and front-to-back.
Shim with non-combustible material, such as sheet
metal, as necessary.
Important: To ensure proper fit of the glass doors,
check the firebox opening for squareness. Measure
diagonal distances of the opening to make sure they
are equal. If they do not equal, continue to shim the
firebox until those diagonals correspond.
Secure the fireplace by utilizing the nailing tabs locat-
ed on either side of the fireplace to the vertical fram-
ing. Hold-down tabs are provided at the base of the
firebox assembly for attachment to the subfloor if
desired.
STEP 2 - Placing the Protective Metal Hearth
Strips.
Included with your fireplace are two metal hearth
strips measuring approximately 26" x 4". These
strips are used to provide added protection where the
fireplace and hearth extension meet.
NOTE: Top Header may be positioned on the
hemmed seam across the top of the firebox
assembly.
