Note: Do not block the side air
vents or air inlet louvers on
the lower front of the fireplace
with hearth extension.
Air vents and air inlet louvers allow
necessary cooling air around the fire-
place. Determine the finished height of
the hearth extension to be used. Raise
the fireplace on a platform, if necessary,
to prevent blocking of air openings and
lower louvered panel.
Note: No platform is needed if
hearth extension does
not exceed 1" thick for
circulating units or 6½" for
radiant units.
Air Vents — DO NOT BLOCK
