Carefully consider the position of the fi replace
opening with respect to the location of adjacent
or nearby stairwells, bath or kitchen exhaust fans
and/or return air registers for forced air furnaces/air
conditioners that could cause a smoking fi replace
condition if the house is tightly insulated.
When locating the fi replace, consideration must
be given to combustibles and fi nal fi nishing. See
Figure 5 and confi ne the fi nal location of com-
bustible fi nish materials to the "Safe Zone".
DO NOT permanently place furniture or other
items such as decorative pillows within 60" of
the fi replace front face.
ASSEMBLY OUTLINE
Before You Start
Check your inventory list to be sure you have
all the necessary parts supplied in good us-
able condition. Check also for any concealed
damage.
Check the operation of the damper. The damper
is controlled through the use of a control lever
located within the fi rebox opening at the top
center in front of the fi rebox lintel (Figure 3).
The control lever snaps into place at either
extreme of its range of motion. When locked
in position all the way to the right, the damper
is open. When locked in position all the way to
the left, the damper is closed.

LOCATION OF FIREPLACE
Carefully select the proper location for heat
circulation, aesthetics, chimney obstructions
and clearance to side wall(s). With proper pre-
planning, a slight adjustment of a few inches
can save considerable time and expense later
during construction and assembly.
Figure 4
Chimney Enclosure
Construct a box-like framed structure to enclose
the fi replace and chimney within the confi nes
of the manufactured home, not necessarily
above the roof line.
As with all chimney installations, avoid overhead
obstructions such as trees, power lines, etc.
The chimney/fi replace enclosure should be
constructed and insulated just like any outside
wall. In a cold climate, we recommend the base
of the chimney/fi replace enclosure should also
be insulated between the solid continuous fl oor
beneath the fi replace and the chase bottom.
Insulation in a cold climate installation is not
required for safety.
Note: Local codes may not require fi restopping
at the ceiling levels for outside chimney enclo-
sure installations. However, it is recommended
for safety and the reduction of heat loss.
WARNING
Do not obstruct the collar open-
ings around the base of the chim-
ney at the top of the fi replace.
Do not insulate the chimney
enclosure cavity with blown or
ll type insulation materials.
