Clearance Requirements
The following clearances and hearth requirements
are the minimum requirements when installing the
Camden gas insert into a solid fuel burning appli-
ance. These dimensions are measured from the
firebox cabinet to the combustible material. See
figures 5 and 6.
A combustible surface is anything that can
burn (i.e. sheet rock, wallpaper, wood, fabrics etc.).
These surfaces are not limited to those that are
visible and also include materials that are behind
non-combustibles.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of
a material, consult your local fire officials. Remem-
ber, “Fire Resistant” materials are considered
combustible: they are difficult to ignite, but will
burn. Also, “fire-rated” sheet rock is considered
combustible.
Always maintain the proper clearances to the
appliance for the proper flow of ventilation air
around the insert.
SEE PAGE 21 FOR SURROUND PANEL
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS.
NOTE: The additional weight of the Wide Surround
may necessitate use of the Anchor Bracket which is
included with this fireplace. The anchor will ensure
that the surround assembly aligns properly against
the fireplace face. Use the installation instructions
included in the Hardware bag.
