INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE
Step 1. Slide the fireplace into prepared fram-
ing or position fireplace in its final position
and frame later.
Step 2. Insert the metal safety strips, pack-
aged with the fireplace, beneath the fireplace,
as illustrated in Figures 7-1 and 7-2, below).
The safety strips should overlap 1" (25 mm) for
continual coverage of the floor.
Note:
• Safety strips are not required when fireplace
rests on a noncombustible surface.
• Install the hearth extension only as illustrated.
The safety strips should extend from front and
sides of the fireplace 2" (51 mm). In the event a
wooden support is used to elevate the fireplace
above the floor, a “Z” type safety strip should
be fabricated and used to protect the front
surface of the wood support as well as the
oor beneath the hearth extension (see Figures
8 and 9, below). The safety strips should be
tacked down to prevent possible movement.
Note: The “Z” type safety strip is not supplied.
