Fireplace Placement


The fireplace must be secured to the floor and/or framing (see "nailing brackets" in the illustration
below).

Fireplace must be placed directly on wood or non-combustible surface (not on linoleum or carpet).

Fireplace must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the fireplace and chimney.

Place the ember strip included with the fireplace below the front edge of the fireplace (see illustration
below). This prevents embers from sliding between the fireplace and hearth.

Fireplace must be placed so the vents below and above the glass do not become blocked.
The fireplace must be level and plumb
during installation. Use shims under the
fireplace to properly level the fireplace if
needed.

WARNING:
Failure to correctly level and plumb the
fireplace may lead to the door swinging
open or closed.
