    LOOR ROTECTION If this fireplace is installed on a combustible floor, the floor area 20 inches in front of, and 12 inches either side of the fireplace opening must be protected by an insulating noncombustible hearth extension. This hearth extension may be either minimum 6-inch thick stone or brick as shown by Figure 10, an H2066 Hearth Extension Kit or a locally constructed hearth equivalent to the H2066.
  • Page 11 LOOR ROTECTION The ability of insulating material to retard the transfer of heat may be expressed as either Thermal Conduc- tance (C), Thermal Conductivity (K), or Thermal Resistance (R). The mathematical relationship of these values and the formulas for converting one value to another is as follows: IGURE C = K divided by the material thickness (Example C = .43 divided by 1/2 (.50)

  • Page 31: Maintenance And Safety Instructions

    Make sure the chimney is clear from any accumulation of soot, creosote or any other debris, and that all joints are intact. Martin Hearth & Heating does not recommend chemical cleaners because some may contain elements that corrode the metal parts of the chimney or fireplace.
  • Page 32 AINTENANCE AND AFETY IREPLACE AINTENANCE At the end of each heating season or when the fireplace will not be in use for an extended time, the ashes should be removed and the hearth area should be swept as clean as is practical.
